Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
When a subsidiary company issues bonus shares out of pre-acquisition profits, its pre-acquisition reserves decrease and its paid-up share capital increases by an identical amount. Because the holding company's share in the pre-acquisition net assets remains unchanged, the cost of control (Goodwill or Capital Reserve) is unaffected, resulting in 'No effect on the Consolidated Balance Sheet'.
