A) $ 70,000
B) $ 75,000
C) $ 85,000

E) $100,000
The economic unit concept consolidates assets at fair market value. Thus, answer to 11 is E.
The proportionate consolidation concept uses the ownership percentage (75%, in this case) of fair market value. Thus, the answer to 12 is B.
The parent company concept consolidates the asset's book value ($70,000) plus the ownership percentage of the difference between market value and book value (75% of $30,000 or $22,500). So the answer to 13 is D.
