I suggest that you download the free course notes on this site and work through from the start of the chapters on group accounts / consolidations and then, when you’ve worked through those 6 (?) chapters you’ll be in a really good position to sort out this question for yourself
Additionally you seem to be under the mistaken impression that OpenTuition is offering a “We’ll do your homework” service
Sadly, you’re mistaken!
You have a go at it for yourself and then, when you hit a brick wall, post again and I’ll try to find a way through that obstruction for you
OK?
