Hey all, getting ready for technical interviews coming out of undergrad here and I'm looking for some help with goalseek, I understand it's use but I'm struggling to understand it's role in this situation -- for example, if you were given a set of assumptions that required you to find an asset's purchase price and entry cap rate, but they only provided a levered IRR requirement to go off of, how would you go about doing this?
I've tried just assuming a purchase price to get a loan amount to find some annual debt service payments - then using these levered cash flows to goal seek a purchase price (rough example of this below), but I'm not sure if this is the right way to go about it
I would really appreciate any insight anyone might be able to provide on this
just for a little more clarity, here's what exactly was stated as a part the prompt
You can use NPV and run the IRR as the discount rate to back into a purchase price. From there getting the cap rate is pretty self-explanatory
I appreciate the quick response, although I don't totally follow -- do you have any examples in excel that you could PM? I think my confusion is on what #'s you would use to run your NPV calc. From what I understand you're saying you would use =NPV(required Lev IRR here, then some set of values here) to find the purchase price?

here's a link to my run through, if anyone has any time to check this over I would really appreciate any feedback
