Answer:

Marginal Cost = $30

Explanation:

Given that

Price = $60

Elasticity of demand = -2

Recall that

MC = P(1 + 1/Ed)

From monopolist pricing rule as a function of elasticity of demand.

Where MC = marginal cost

Ed = elasticity of demand = -2

Thus

MC = 60 (1 + 1/-2)

= 60 (1 + [-0.5])

= 60 ( 1 - 0.5)

= 60 (0.5)

= 30

MC = $30
