Why 20% for IT cost and 30% for Headquarter cost

Please help with my query . In case of HQ cost 10% was removed from our client and 20% from target which is in line with 30% assumption . But in IT it was only total 20% . 

Also of you can explain wht staff cost should not be considered for synergy . Thank you

Dear All - Further clarifying my question . In the case we have taken below assumption :reasonable percentage of costs that can be saved through synergies. 30% would be a good estimation. Now while calculating the Headquarter cost , I see below calculation Headquarter costs Eligible for synergies: Yes! REA: 10% * 4,000,000 = $400,000 Acquired company: 20% * $3,600,000 = $720,000 Total = $1,120,000 (30% = $336,000 for simplification: $350,000). I am taking this as 30 % . But while calculating IT cost I see below calculation T costs Eligible for synergies: Yes! REA: 90% * $4,000,000 * 10% = $360,000 (costs in regions * total cost * share of IT costs) Acquired Company: 80% * $3,600,000 * 10% = $288,000 (Which is 20% ) . Hope this is clear please

Hi Kari,

I'm sorry but your question is very very difficult to follow. What exactly are you asking?
