    The answer is false--You only use the fair value method when the investor (parent) possesses only a small percentage of the investee (subsidiary) company's outstanding stock--When the parent company owns over 50% of the subsidary's otstanding voting stock (as it is in this case), then the parent company should use the consolidated method:)
