A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/13/O/N/21

Explanation
Insufficient information on X's profit share Steps:
- X's initial balances: capital 80,000 = $180,000 total.
- Revaluation gain $90,000 must be allocated per profit sharing ratio (PSR).
- PSR states Y and Z share equally, but X's share (as retiring partner) is unspecified.
- Total due to X = $180,000 + X's gain share; half paid by cheque, but cannot compute without X's PSR.
Why C is correct:
- Not enough information to determine exact payment; C (105,000 paid (close but imprecise).
Why the others are wrong:
- A: $40,000 ignores current account and revaluation.
- B: $60,000 possibly half revaluation but excludes X's balances.
- D: $120,000 overstates if assuming X gets full revaluation share.
Final answer: C
