See what Pro questions actually look like
One Pro question shown in full. Answer plus the banker explanation of what interviewers are really testing.
Acquire 70% of a target for cash. Target: $100 equity value, $180 assets, $100 liabilities, $80 book equity. Walk through the acquirer's balance sheet.
Answer
Cash used: $70 (70% × $100). Add seller assets ($180) and liabilities ($100), wipe out seller equity ($80 disappears at consolidation). Net so far: Assets +$180 − $70 = +$110. Liabilities +$100. Need to plug: book equity ($80) < value ($100), so create $20 goodwill on the asset side. On the liabilities side, create $30 NCI (30% × $100 value) representing the portion not owned. Final: Assets +$130, L+NCI +$130.
Why interviewers ask this
Two key steps: (1) goodwill plugs the difference between price paid (on a 100% basis) and book equity; (2) NCI captures the minority shareholders' claim on the consolidated sub. Even though A bought 70%, the BS consolidates 100% of the sub.
