All the guests (that we expected) have arrived.

It simply means “the whole amount of 5 万”

5 万 has been paid in full;
5 万 has been received in full;

You don't owe us anything any more.

Or I don't owe you anything anymore

depending on who is saying it.

It's now 50,000


Explanation:
As you said it's conversation, it should be someone collected 50,000 and said the amount is 50,000 now.

So we should make the translation also conversational.

Ready


Explanation:
The sentence translates to "Is the 50,000 ready?" or "Have you gathered the 50,000?"

It's common to use 齐了 for such phrasing when dealing with gathering/pooling money for something.

Example sentence(s):
  • 钱都凑齐了。We've pooled enough money.
  • 东西都准备齐了。Everything is ready.
