dears thanks for answers  

answer is :   (c) A subsidiary should not be consolidated when

 

 

 

 

it is in bankruptcy. Consolidation of all majority-owned

 

subsidiaries is required regardless of the industry or business

 

of the subsidiary. A difference in fiscal periods of a parent

 

and a subsidiary does not of itself justify the exclusion of the

 

subsidiary from consolidation.
