2. $955,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount to be reported for inventory in the consolidated balance sheet is shown below:

= Vader inventory value in the balance sheet + Sky-walker inventory value in the balance sheet

= $700,000 + $255,000

= $955,000

Since we have to report the inventory based on the consolidated balance sheet so we added both inventory value that would be presented on each balance sheet
