    please sir,
    sep 2018 no1 (b)
    Clearly half of the que: but conflict at next half of the que.
    Whether the IFRs board’s proposed amendment define of a business would revise your conclusion?
    This part feeling confused to me whether it is business or asset acquired.
    Please little explain for me sir
    Thanks.

    As there is really a single asset and no staff – more likely to be an asset purchase than a business purchase.

    I think they are asking you to assess whether you think the transaction is a business or an asset purchase. Obviously you get credit for your argument – these questions are not always ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.

    From your last post I am confused – it’s just one transaction. Is that not how you are reading it?
