Solution

The correct answer is: "The subsidiary will prepare its own financial statements using the same accounting policies as the parent."

This is because, for consolidation purposes, it is important that all entities within the group use the same accounting policies. This ensures that the consolidated financial statements provide a consistent and accurate picture of the group's financial position. If different accounting policies were used, it could lead to inconsistencies and inaccuracies in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, if the parent and subsidiary do not initially use the same accounting policies, adjustments may need to be made. In this case, the subsidiary would adjust its policies to align with those of the parent.
