The following are good reasons for mergers:

(I) Economies of scale

(II) Economics of vertical integration

(III) Complementary resources

(IV) Surplus funds

(V) Eliminating inefficiencies

(VI) Industry consolidation

  • A.I only
  • B. I, II, and III only
  • C. I, III, IV, and V only
  • D.I, II, III, IV, V, and VI

Answer: D

Correct answer: I, II, III, IV, V, and VI

All six are recognised sources of genuine gain. Economies of scale spread fixed costs; vertical integration secures supply or distribution; complementary resources let each firm use what the other has; surplus funds find a use better than a poor internal project; eliminating inefficiency releases value a weak management was destroying; and industry consolidation removes excess capacity from a shrinking sector.
