1. What are the characteristics of a business entity under IFRS 3?


According to IFRS 3, business combination is a process where a business entity acquires one or
more other business entities. A business is defined as “an integrated set of activities and assets that
is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return in the form of
dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits directly to investors or other owners, members
or participants”. This shows that a business entity should have three characteristics: (1) an input,
which is a set of activities and assets, (2) a process, which is managing and conducting the input,
and (3) an output, which is the return from conducting the process.
For example, a business purchased a factory; normally this should be an acquisition of assets,
however, if by purchasing the factory, the entity also hiring its management and workers of that
certain factory this should be a business combination. The factory itself acted as an input, while the
management and workers are a part of the process, and the products produced or any other
economic benefits such as cost reduction is the output. This transaction is now a business
combination.

2. Is dissolution of all but one of the separate legal entities necessary in order to have a
business combination? Explain
The dissolution of all but one of the separate legal entities is not necessary for a business
combination. An example of one form of business combination in which the separate legal entities
are not dissolved is when one corporation becomes a subsidiary of another. In the case of a parent-
subsidiary relationship, each combining company continues to exist as a separate legal entity even
though both companies are under the control of a single management team.

3. What are the legal distinctions between a business combination, a merger, and a
consolidation?
A business combination occurs when two or more previously separate and independent
companies are brought under the control of a single management team. Merger and consolidation
in a generic sense are frequently used as synonyms for the term business combination. In a technical
sense, however, a merger is a type of business combination in which all but one of the combining
entities are dissolved and a consolidation is a type of business combination in which a new
corporation is formed to take over the assets of two or more previously separate companies and all
of the combining companies are dissolved.
