Final Answer :
The entire amount of the subsidiary's revenues is combined with the parent's revenues to arrive at consolidated revenues. The exception to this would be the case of a midyear acquisition. If Pennant owned its shares of Scarvens for all of 2020, all of Scarvens's revenues ($200,000) would be combined. If Pennant owned its shares of Scarvens for only a portion of 2020, any of Scarvens's revenues earned prior to the acquisition would be excluded from consolidated revenues.
