This R&D provides information about the sale of Yahoo!  The Internet search engine reportedly has $7.1 billion in cash and has a core business that is estimated to be worth more than $4 billion, but it has failed to displace Google and its ventures into multimedia have largely failed.  Companies such as Google, Verizon, Microsoft, and the Daily Mail have been reported as possible buyers, but private equity firms may try to buy the company and then sell off its various assets.
