This amount is calculated from the numbers before the strategic changes and without the synergy effects. If we consider the growth this is supposed to give, then the value will be estimated to over $100 million, and therefore this supports our decision to bid $100 million for Pinkerton. However a price to sales…

If you select any pair of points inside or on the boundary of the polygon, and join them with a line segment, that line segment will remain inside or on the boundary of the polygon; it will never cross the boundary and be outside the polygon. The final question asks you to consider what sort of effect the loosening of this restriction might have on your efforts. Below is a series of diagrams showing the ways in which the first few polygons may be triangulated. At the start of this task,…

be informed of the strategic importance of performance appraisals in this training, and top management should create policies to ensure that appraisals are done more frequently.
