What is a basic premise of the acquisition method regarding accounting for a noncontrolling interest?

b. Consolidated financial statements should be produced only if both the parent and the subsidiary are in the same basic industry.

c. A subsidiary is an indivisible part of a business combination and should be included in its entirety regardless of the degree of ownership.

d. Consolidated financial statements should not report a noncontrolling interest balance because these outside owners do not hold stock in the parent company.
