Walk me through an LBO model - ANS1. Make assumptions about purchase price, debt/equity
ratio, and interest rate on debt
2. Create a sources/uses section, which shows how the transaction is financed and how much
investor equity is required

each year, based on available cash flow and required interest payments

the "floor valuation" for the company? - ANSLBO gives a targeted IRR and then we back-solve
in Excel to determine purchase price could pay to achieve that IRR.
