65 valuation and 91 accounting questions, filterable by topic and difficulty. Every three-statement scenario is walked line by line, so you see exactly where the numbers land.
- 40 three-statement scenarios with a balance check on each
- A trap and a likely follow-up on almost every question
- Mark cards for review and drill only the ones you missed
- A one-page cheat sheet of the rules to know cold

Buy at 10x EBITDA of $100 with $600 of debt and $400 of equity. In five years EBITDA is $150, the exit is 10x and debt is down to $300. What is the equity MOIC?
Why: exit EV = 150 × 10 = $1,500. Less $300 of debt leaves $1,200 of equity. 1,200 ÷ 400 = 3.0x.
