EXAMINATION PURPOSE
This assessment is designed to simulate a professional-level valuation modeling
examination aligned with the structure and analytical rigor commonly associated with
Wall Street Prep training materials. It evaluates a candidate’s ability to apply core
valuation methodologies including discounted cash flow (DCF) modeling, comparable
company analysis, precedent transactions, WACC estimation, and terminal value
computation in practical, decision-oriented scenarios.
,Candidates are expected to demonstrate financial reasoning under time constraints,
interpret corporate financial statements, and apply valuation theory to real-world
investment banking contexts. The exam emphasizes analytical precision, conceptual
clarity, and technical execution in Excel-style logic and valuation frameworks.
Time Allowed: 90 Minutes
Approximate Total Questions: 30
All answers must be selected with supporting financial logic where applicable. This is an
original simulation inspired by publicly available valuation exam formats and does not
represent actual proprietary exam content.
CORE COMPETENCY DOMAINS
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Modeling
Enterprise Value & Equity Value Adjustments
WACC & Cost of Capital Estimation
Terminal Value Methodologies
Comparable Company Analysis (Trading Multiples)
Precedent Transaction Analysis
Financial Statement Interpretation
Investment Banking Valuation Logic
,QUESTIONS
Q1. A company has EBITDA of $120M and trades at an EV/EBITDA multiple of
10x. What is its enterprise value?
A. $1,000M
B. $1,200M
C. $1,500M
D. $12,000M
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. $1,200M
Explanation: 🟡 EV = EBITDA × Multiple = 120 × 10 = 1,200.
A is incorrect (understated multiple). C is inflated. D misplaces decimal scaling.
Q2. Which adjustment increases Enterprise Value?
A. Cash increase
B. Debt repayment
C. Adding minority interest
D. Stock buyback
Correct Answer: 🔴 C. Adding minority interest
Explanation: 🟡 Minority interest is included in EV because it reflects consolidated
, ownership claims. Cash reduces EV; debt repayment reduces liabilities; stock buybacks
affect equity, not EV directly.
Q3. A firm has revenue of $500M and EBITDA margin of 25%. What is EBITDA?
A. $100M
B. $125M
C. $150M
D. $200M
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. $125M
Explanation: 🟡 EBITDA = 500 × 25% = 125. Others reflect misapplied percentages.
Q4. In DCF analysis, increasing the discount rate will:
A. Increase present value
B. Decrease present value
C. Not affect valuation
D. Increase terminal value
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Decrease present value
Explanation: 🟡 Higher discount rate increases opportunity cost → reduces PV of future
cash flows.
