It was laid out in the letter they left on the mantel. Bilbo was to receive up to one 14th share after expenses, the cost of travel would be defrayed. And any funeral expenses would be paid as well.

Why does Thorin refuse Bard his request for treasure?

Thorin is a dwarf, and they love treasure. They finally get their mountain and then here comes humans tramping along, wanting a share in it. To Thorin and company, they just certainly could not have sticky human fingers all over their precious treasure. What can you say, they're dwarves!

Why does Thorin refuse Bard his requests for treasure in The Hobbit?

Thorin was a proud and stubborn dwarf, and like all dwarves was a bit too fond of his gold. The notion of sharing his fathers' hard won treasure with anyone, even the Lake Men, was not to be borne.Basically Thorin is overwhelmed by greed for the wealth of Smaug's hoard. There is far more wealth than he could possibly use, but rather than share it with his neighbours, he wants it all to himself.But although this is at the bottom of his behaviour, there is some sense in his anger. He must feel like a man who has won the lottery, and all of a sudden, everyone is his friend and wants a piece of the winnings. Indeed there can be no doubt that that is exactly why Bard and the Elvenking have come to the mountain, believing Thorin and his companions to be dead. Greed is pretty high in their minds too. Thorin's response to the Elvenking is particularly telling--why should Thorin be nice to a guy who locked him in the dungeons. (Ironically, Thorin was apprehended by the elves for begging)

Why was Thorin captured?

Thorin was captured by Thranduil, the Elvenking, in "The Hobbit" because Thranduil believed Thorin's party, which included Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf, were thieves trying to enter his kingdom without permission. Thorin's refusal to share information about their quest to reclaim Erebor also fueled tensions leading to his capture.


What is Bilbos reaction to the treasure?

We all know that Bilbo had no use or interest for the treasure at all. He got coaxed into going along on this adventure but really he would have rather stayed in his hobbit hole and went about is usual business. Even when he is coming up with a plan to get into the mountain he is wishing he were at home where he was safe and had plenty of food and water. Before the journey even started he was in it as a business deal and he really did not care about his fourteenth share.
