Question

Write a note on amalgamation in the nature of merger

Answer 2

Answer:

In other words, all assets and liabilities of the transferor company become that of the transfer company. In this case, the business of the transfer or company is intended to be carried on after the amalgamation. There are no adjustments intended to be made to the book values.
