With the talk recently about us bidding £100k for Taylor from Falkirk and that being turned down, who decides how much he is worth? Does rp decide thats all he is worth or does he consult pf and ask if he is worth, say £150k and then go back with another offer(if we can afford it)?
Is it up to pf how the transfer budget is spent or does he just give rp a list of players and he sees who he can get ??

A player is worth what someone will pay. There is no secret formula to how player values are calculated.
Hibs want the player because they think he is affordable and they think £100k is a reasonable valuation based on his experience, ability and the likelihood of selling him at a profit. Petrie will have made the offer based on what we can afford and how it ties into our overall budget. We could probably get Taylor but I'm sure there's regular discussions between Petrie and Fenlon as to the overall budget and the percentage Fenlon is willing to sacrifice on one player. For example, RP might say "We could get Taylor for £150k if you want but it will mean less cash for other players" and Fenlon has to gauge how important Taylor is and how much he wants him.
On an accounting basis, a player's value depreciates over the length of their contract so theoretically their value as at the end of their contract is £0. I'm not sure what the value starts at though, if it's based on their acquisition costs or contract value. Someone more informed can probably advise.

I would imagine Petrie sets the budget available, maximum wages etc, then Fenlon decides who we should go for, then it's over to Petrie to negotiate?

Does Petrie really have that much of an operational input? As Chairman I'd have thought he was more overseeing things than being the decision maker.
Did we ever appoint a permanent replacement for Scott Lindsay?

It's all down to " Market Forces" / "Supply and Demand" - whatever you want to call it !!
Say a club needs a top class No5 and there not many around at the time they will "push the boat out" to get the one they want
