LBO Interview Questions: Free Graded Practice
LBO questions reward a clean path from sources and uses to returns. Write your answer below and the grader tells you what an interviewer would have marked down.
- Whether entry, exit and leverage assumptions are stated clearly
- Whether debt paydown and cash flow logic hold together
- Whether the return drivers are named, not just the IRR
Sources and uses, returns, debt paydown, IRR. One graded rep, free, no account needed.
Explain the interest tax shield in an LBO. State how it affects cash taxes and free cash flow, and explain why it does not make debt free or always value-creating.
Interest deductibility is subject to taxable income, legal limits, jurisdiction, and timing.
