Series 79 practice questionhardLeverage Ratios
A firm has an enterprise value of $2 billion, total debt of $600 million, cash of $100 million, and equity of $1.2 billion. What is the firm's net debt to EBITDA if its EBITDA is $200 million?
- A2.0x
- B3.0x
- C2.5x✓ Correct answer
- D1.5x
Explanation
Why C — 2.5x
Net debt = total debt - cash = $600M - $100M = $500M. Net debt/EBITDA = $500M / $200M = 2.5x, so A is correct.
