    The answer is $4.94 million.

    Explanation:

    Burt's current asset includes Cash, Account Receivable and Inventory. As stated in the question, the percentage of each item in the Current Asset Account is given as followed:

    Cash 50%, Account Receivable: 30%, Inventory 20% (i. e 100% - 50% - 30%).

    We have: Current ratio = Current asset / Current Liabilities

    Apply in the question, we have:

    Current Asset / Current Liabilities = Current ratio = 0.95 = > Current Asset = Current Liabilities x 0.95 = $26,000,000 x 0.95 = $24,700,000.

    As Inventory accounts for 20% of the Current Asset Account balance, the value of inventory in the Balance Sheet will be: Current Asset Account balance x 20% = $24,700,000 x 20% = $4,940,000.

    Answer: The answer is $4,940,000

    Explanation:

    Since current ratio = Current Asset / Current Liabilities

    Since current ratio = 0.95 times

    0.95 = Current Asset / 26,000,000

    We cross multiply

    Current Asset = 0.95 * 26,000,000

    = 24,700,000

    Since cash = 50% and Account receivable = 30%, 50 + 30 = 80

    100% - 80% = 20%

    Inventory = 20/100 * 24,700,000

    = 4,940,000

    Therefore the value of inventory listed on the firm balance sheet = $4,940,000
