Question 3
A Company has the same level of Operating Income for Q1 of two consecutive years. However, for the more recent 01, levels of
D&A dropped.
When you compare the Company's most recent 01 LTM EBIT and EBITDA to those of its last complete fiscal year, you would expect:
LTM EBIT to increase, LTM EBITDA to decrease
LTM EBIT to increase, LTM EBITDA to increase
, LTM EBIT to stay flat, LTM EBITDA to stay flat
LTM EBIT to stay flat, LTM EBITDA to increase
LTM EBIT to stay flat. LTM EBITDA to

Question 4
Which of the following statements is most correct about building a comparable company analysis?
It is never appropriate to include the target company in the peer group.
Using the peer group's average multiple is preferable to using the peer group's median multiple when you suspect significant outliers.
When EBITDA forecasts are available, share price valuation using EV/next year EBITDA is always preferable to valuation using EV/LTM
EBITDA.
Comps analysis is preferable to the DCF for valuing the share price of public companies because the market is providing a clear valuation
signal.
Valuing the share price of a company based on the P/E of its peers is not as useful as valuing based on the EWEBITDA of its
peers
when the target and peer group have widely differing leverage.
