Answer:

Company Pea

Consolidated financial statements should be prepared to report the financial status and results of operations for:

Company Pea, Company Essone, and Company Esstwo

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Shareholding in each company:

Company Essone = 90%

Company Esstwo = 72% (0.90 * 0.80)

Company Essthree = 54% (0.72 * 0.75)

b) Based on percentage holdings in Essthree of 54%, Essthree should be consolidated.  However, since it is stated that Company Pea lacks control of Essthree and Essthree is consolidated with Esstwo, which has 72% voting rights over Essthree, there is no need to consolidate Essthree with Company Pea.
