    A. $24,000

    Explanation:

    The missing information is shown below:

    Allen capital $60,000

    Burns capital $30,000

    Costello capital $90,000

    For computing the balance of Burns's capital account, first we have to determine the different amount which is shown below:

    = Paid amount - Costello capital

    = $100,000 - $90,000

    = $10,000

    This bonus amount would be deducted from the remaining partner's balances in the ratio of 3:2

    For Burns, it would be

    = $10,000 * 3 : 5

    = $6,000

    So, the burns capital amount would be

    = $30,000 - $6,000

    = $24,000
