Based on Gelblums estimates, if Zimt is deemed to have control over Oxbow, its 2018 consolidated sales

Question:

Based on Gelblum’s estimates, if Zimt is deemed to have control over Oxbow, its 2018 consolidated sales (in € millions) will be closest to:

A. €1,700.

B. €2,375.

C. €3,050.

Zimt,AGis a consumer products manufacturer headquartered in Austria. It complies with IFRS.
In 2017, Zimt held a 10 percent passive stake in Oxbow Limited. In December 2017, Zimt announced that it would be increasing its ownership to 50 percent effective 1 January 2018.
Franz Gelblum, an analyst following both Zimt and Oxbow, is curious how the increased stake will affect Zimt’s consolidated financial statements. Because Gelblum is uncertain how the company will account for the increased stake, he uses his existing forecasts for both companies’ financial statements to compare various alternative outcomes.
