CHAPTER 5 ANSWERS
2) D. The bank’s internal credit committee(s) also require(s) the deal team to
analyze the target’s performance under one or more stress cases in order to
gain comfort with the target’s ability to service and repay debt during periods
of duress. These “Downside Cases” typically present the target’s financial
performance with haircuts to top-line growth, margins, and potentially capex
and working capital efficiency.
4) A. Net income is the first line item in the cash flow statement. It is initially
inflated in the pre-LBO model, as it excludes the pro forma interest expense
and amortization of deferred financing fees associated with the LBO
financing structure that have not yet been entered into the model. The
amortization of deferred financing fees is a non-cash expense that is added
back to net income in the post-LBO cash flow statement.
6) B. Once the cash flow statement is built, the ending cash balance for each
year in the projection period is linked to the cash and cash equivalents line
item in the balance sheet, thereby fully linking the financial statements of the
pre-LBO model.
8) B. Sources of funds refer to the total capital used to finance an acquisition. Uses
of funds refer to those items funded by the capital sources. A term loan and
cash are both sources of funds.
9) D. Goodwill is created from the excess amount paid for a target over its
existing book value. In this case the excess paid is $300 (equity purchase price
$2,000 minus book value $1,700). Adding $300 to the existing goodwill gives
us total goodwill of $400.
11) B. The debt schedule is an integral component of the LBO model, serving to
layer in the pro forma effects of the LBO financing structure on the target’s
financial statements. Specifically, the debt schedule enables the banker to:
• Complete the pro forma income statement from EBIT to net
income
• Complete the pro forma long-term liabilities and shareholders’
equity sections of the balance sheet
• Complete the pro forma financing activities section of the cash flow
statement
12) B. The debt schedule applies free cash flow to make mandatory and optional
debt repayments, thereby calculating the annual beginning and ending
balances for each debt tranche. The debt repayment amounts are linked to
the financing activities section of the cash flow statement.
13) D. For floating-rate debt instruments, such as revolving credit facilities and
term loans, interest rates are typically based on LIBOR plus a fixed spread.
14) A. To calculate the interest rate, the pricing spread of the revolving credit
facility is added to that year’s LIBOR on the Forward LIBOR Curve (350 bps
plus 4.35%).
15) C. The annual projected cash available for debt repayment is the sum of the
cash flows provided by operating and investing activities on the cash flow
statement (cash flow from operating activities $120 minus cash flow from
investing activities $30).
16) A. The annual projected cash available for debt repayment is the sum of the
cash flows provided by operating and investing activities on the cash flow
statement ($125.0 minus $50.0). This amount is first used to make mandatory
debt repayments on the term loan tranches ($75.0 minus $30.0). The
remaining cash flow is used to make optional debt repayments. In addition to
internally generated free cash flow, existing cash from the balance sheet may
be used (“swept”) to make incremental debt repayments ($45.0 plus $20.0).
17) B. The revolver’s drawdown/(repayment) line item feeds from the cash
available for optional debt repayment line item at the top of the debt
schedule. In the event the cash available for optional debt repayment amount
is negative in any year (e.g., in a downside case), a revolver draw (or use of
cash on the balance sheet, if applicable) is required.
18) D. Cash available for optional debt repayment has remained positive;
therefore, the revolver remains undrawn at the end of the term.
19) A. A revolving credit facility does not require a set amortization schedule.
21) C. First calculate total interest expense, which is the sum of cash and non-
cash interest expense, most notably the amortization of deferred financing
fees ($25.0m plus $3.0m). The amortization of deferred financing fees, while
technically not interest expense, is included in total interest expense as it is a
financial charge. Net interest expense is calculated by subtracting interest
income received on cash held on a company’s balance sheet from its total
interest expense ($28.0m minus $2.0m).
22) D. Because we are assuming a 100% cash flow sweep, all cash available for
optional debt repayment will go toward paying optional debt.
25) B. Once the LBO model is fully functional, all the essential model outputs are
linked to a transaction summary page; this page provides an overview of the
LBO analysis in a user-friendly format, typically displaying the sources and
uses of funds, acquisition multiples, summary returns analysis, and summary
financial data, as well as projected capitalization and credit statistics.
26) C. When building a pre-LBO model, a banker builds the cash flow statement
through investing activities, as the LBO financing structure is not yet entered
into the model.
27) C. Once the pre-LBO model is finished, the banker builds a sources and uses
of funds table that summarizes the flow of funds required to consummate the
transaction. The sources and uses of funds are then linked to the adjustments
column to create the pro forma balance sheet.
28) A. The debt schedule links to the pro forma long-term liabilities and
shareholders’ equity sections of the balance sheet.

"You will naturally ask why I am telling these facts now. I have
two reasons. Fortune has deserted me at last. I had intended to
reveal Guy's parentage when he stood in the dock so deeply stained
with crime that part of the odium he incurred would necessarily fall
upon you. More recently I determined that I would refrain from
putting that coping stone on the edifice of my revenge. Not out of any
misplaced tenderness for you. Do not think that. My reason was a
purely selfish one. My adopted son had somehow endeared himself
to me. I foresaw in him an ornament to my own profession. I became
sentimental and so, foolish. I thought he should always remain my
son. I forgot that he had your blood in his veins and I let him fall
under your influence. I forgot too that a girl can shatter the most
complete philosophy with a glance of her eyes. The young fool has
fallen in love with Meriel Challys, and the consequence is that he has
got into his head a ridiculous idea that he must deliver himself up to
justice in order to make amends for his legitimate spoiling of the
Egyptians, Flurscheim and yourself. He is proposing to do so within
the next forty-eight hours, so you may have time to prevent his
voluntary martyrdom—a martyrdom he will certainly regret, judging
from my own experience. Do not think, however, that I am only
animated by Guy's interests. I am still keenly alive to my own safety.
I have had quite enough of prison life, and am well prepared with
means of escape, though I do not desire to end my existence just
yet. Of course, if you care to sacrifice your son in order that I shall
not escape, that is your affair. Guy knows nothing of his parentage,
though I have taken steps to inform him of it should you fail to do so.
I shall not leave him entirely in your hands."
Captain Marven laid the letter down, and, dropping his face in
his hands, he groaned aloud. His heart was sick with anguish. His
long lost son was returned to him, but in what guise? By training, by
profession, he was a thief. Guy Marven, his son, a thief! The horror
of it was almost too great to be borne! It was the bitterest blow of his
life, far more bitter even than the blow which had fallen when his
baby boy had been stolen from him. If Lynton Hora could have
watched the effect produced by his communication, even his thirst
for revenge would have been satisfied. But more bitter even than the
knowledge of what his son had become was the realisation of the
burden of duty which the revelation thrust upon him. As he realised
his duty in the matter, Captain Marven's face was grey with anguish.
He had found his son only to lose him again—to lose him amongst
the yellow-garbed denizens of the convict prison. More, it was he
who must, with his own hand, send him to that outer darkness. God
grant that his son would be a man! God grant it! That was Captain
Marven's earnest prayer.
Then his wife and Meriel? What if they were to learn of Guy's
relationship. Captain Marven could only dimly conceive the effect
upon them.
The servant came again to announce that the cab was awaiting
him. Marven rose, but it was as a man ten years older than the one
who had opened Hora's letter ten minutes before. His face was lined,
and his hand tremulous, but his lips were set firmly. He saw his duty
plainly before him. There was only one path he could tread, even
though every step on that path gave him a fresh pang. But he must
see Guy first, before he took that step.
He entered the cab and was driven to the Albany. He was more
master of himself by the time he arrived. He wondered what he
should do if Guy should be absent from home, for the time at his
command was short. Within an hour he was due at the Foreign
Office.
Guy opened the door, and started with amazement at sight of
his visitor's face.
"Captain Marven!" he exclaimed. Then a great fear took
possession of him. "Meriel?" he gasped.
Marven grasped the intention of the query.
"Meriel was all right when I left her this morning," he replied.
Guy's relief was obvious. "Are you ill? Is anything the matter?"
he asked, as he closed the door behind the Captain, and followed
him into his sitting-room.
Marven was at a loss for words. Hora's letter was in his hand.
He held it out to Guy, and said huskily, "Read this."
"But——" interrupted Guy.
"No, read this," repeated Marven.
Guy took the letter. He recognised the handwriting, and he
wondered. His wonder gave place to amazement as he read.
Amazement was succeeded by horror, and, when he had finished
reading, the paper dropped from his hands, and he turned his face
away from the man who had brought it, in a vain endeavour to
conceal his emotion. He was hardly aware that a hand was laid on
his arm, until a voice, tremulous with emotion, said, "Guy, my son."
He disdained concealment then. He wheeled round and
clutched blindly at the two hands outstretched to meet his own.
"Father, forgive! forgive!" he muttered brokenly.
