Solution

b) on consolidation.

In a business combination, the revaluation of assets to fair value is accounted for on consolidation. This is because the parent company, which is acquiring the subsidiary, needs to adjust the book values of the subsidiary's assets to their fair values on the date of acquisition. This process is part of the consolidation of financial statements, which combines the financial statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries into one set of financial statements.
