Discharge of debenture holders during amalgamation

So in prblm no. 19 ...u r ok with purchasing co. Receiving dividend from selling company for equity shares....just treat pref shares and debentures of selling company also same like equity shares....after all purchasing company is nothing but 100% shareholder of selling company....so shareholder receives dividend..as simple as that....moreover as u asked in question ...it shud be an expense....if u analyse answer....if is also an expense but at the same time revenue also...revenue from shares and debentures in selling company... Expense for paying to share & debentures holders of selling company...

I too have a doubt on this prblm...whether it amalgamation in nature of merger of purchase as new debentures isued are of similiar terms

I guess during acquisitions,  many ppl raise additional capital. You own 100 Debentures, you need to be compensated and so the aquirer can issue you similar instruments of new company and you can earn your dividend or interest from acquired company operations. This looks like an arrangement.

Or when a company partially takes over without full control over it, they get dividends or nci share of profits from the subsidiary. Please paste the whole question for further clarity.
