Answer:

B. $20,000

Explanation:

40,000 = a fifth

so ther  parthnership capital should equal to

40,000 / (1/5) = 200,000

But the current sum of the capital without adjustment is:

Capital  140,000 + 40,000 + 40,000 = 220,00

to make it balance, the inventory must has been  written down by 20,000

this difference was taken by the prevous partner Allen and Daniel.
