Prescott Corp. owned 90% of Bell Inc., while Bell owned 10% of the outstanding common shares of Prescott. No goodwill or other allocations were recognized in connection with either of these acquisitions. Prescott reported operating income of $266,000 for 2011 whereas Bell earned $98,000 during the same period. No investment income was included within either of these income totals. How would the 10% investment in Prescott owned by Bell be presented in the consolidated balance sheet?

A) The 10% investment would be eliminated and no amount would be shown in the consolidated balance sheet.

B) The 10% investment would be reclassified in Bell's balance sheet as Treasury Stock before the consolidation process begins.

C) The 10% investment would be eliminated and the same dollar amount would appear as treasury stock in the consolidated balance sheet.

D) The 10% investment would be included as part of Additional Paid-In Capital because it is less than 20% and therefore indicates no significant influence is present.

E) Prescott would treat the shares owned by Bell as if they had been repurchased on the open market, and a treasury stock account would be set up on Prescott's books recording the shares at their market value on the date of combination.
