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
