The final exam for FE455 will be Friday December 15 at 9 AM in SGT 101
The exam will be on paper
– I will give you enough space in the exam booklet for the questions and will also
bring extra scratch paper for anyone who needs it.
We will start by 9:05 pm and you will have two hours to complete the exam
(the exam will end 2 hours after we
begin, if you arrive late you will have to end with everyone else).
There will be 4-5 problems on the exam which will expect you to do such things as:
Determine required ownership for a Series A or Series B round and show a Stacked Bar Diagram that includes
the # of shares, price per share, pre/post money and ownership
Determine the amount received and the return for investors under different exit scenarios
Show the payoffs for Convertible Preferred and Participating Convertible Preferred (with and without caps) and
do a payoff diagram
Show the impact of a down round with no protection, weighted average anti-dilution protection and full-
ratchet anti-dilution protection
Show a liquidation waterfall at different exit scenarios
Create a cap table
