receive $8,000 each

Explanation:

In the question, A and B are solvent partners whereas C is an insolvent partner but the amount would be distributed to all partners in their profit-loss sharing ratio i. e 4:4:2 as C is not in the condition to contribute the amount but has the right to take his profit

So, A and B would be received

= $20,000 * 4 : 10

= $8,000 each

And, the remaining amount would be given to C partner i. e

= $20,000 - $8,000 - $8,000

= $4,000
