    A. $20,000

    Explanation:

    For computing the goodwill amount we have to apply the formula which is shown below:

    = Required capital - actual capital

    where,

    We know that David invested $50,000 for one-fifth interest

    So, Required capital = David investment amount * 5

    = $50,000 * 5

    = $250,000

    And, the actual capital would be

    = Allen capital + Daniel capital + David investment

    = $140,000 + $40,000 + $ 50,000

    = $230,000

    So, the goodwill would be

    = $250,000 - $230,000 = $20,000
