A lease is an arrangement under which a lessor agrees to allow a lessee to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a stated time period in exchange for 1 or more payments. There are several types of lease designations, and they differ if an entity is the lessee or the lessor. For a lessee, a lease can be designated as either a finance lease or an operating lease.

Individual Assignment – Combination Analysis Homework
Mergers and Acquisitions
I. Introduction (Objective of the Assignment) It is common in Mergers & Acquisitions to create pro forma combined financial statements (and resulting key ratios) for a potential merger or acquisition scenario. The output can vary, but the general exercise is referred to as a “Combination Analysis” (or sometimes a “Contribution Analysis”). The key takeaways from the Combination Analysis can include combined earnings per share (and whether the deal is accretive or not), synergies required to achieve breakeven earnings per share (if initially dilutive), and implied pro forma credit rating. The ability to successfully complete a Combination Analysis is critical due to the importance of a firm’s EPS and targeted capital structure/credit rating. You will complete an abbreviated Combination Analysis to demonstrate your understanding of the key formulas and financial statement relationships inherent in the M&A decision-making process. II. Assignment Requirements Complete the combination analysis and questions found in the Excel file located in your assignment instructions. Please refer to chapters 16, 17, and 21 for more information on Combination Analyses. III. Assignment Format You will find an Excel file in your assignment instructions. Please complete the activity and submit it.
IV. Rubric This is an individual assignment and accounts for 5% of your overall grade. You will be assessed according to the following rubric.
Criteria Superior High Quality
Average Below Average
Poor
Assignment Requirements – All calculations are completed correctly, excel worksheet is used to produce the pro forma financial statements, key ratios are identified and briefly noted.
Depressed and suicidal people present an inherent danger to themselves and others. Whether the individual is in their home and the police are responding, or in a prison cell surrounded by correctional officers, how you, the criminal justice professional, deal with them can mean life or death.
Create a maximum four-minute video discussing the techniques that should be utilized by criminal justice professionals like yourself. If you find a past incident involving the police/correctional staff or security, share the incident with your classmates and what the officer did that was positive or negative.
Upload the video to YouTube and share the URL in the post.

Some retro gaming fans build arcades into their home or apartment.
There are a few companies who sell complete systems,
such as Arcade1Up, AtGames, iiRcade.
Other fans like to build their own, custom retro arcade machine from parts.
