This account should be reported on the balance sheet in the Current Assets section.

Explanation:

Current assets are situated at the start of the balance sheet assets section. This portion of the balance sheet includes some short-term assets that are easiest to turn into cash.

Depending on its comparative ability to generate into money (called the liquidity order), every one of the current asset line items is placed on the balance sheet.
