Answer:

Answer ; MC = 6

Explanation:

Q = U√K  √L

MRTS = MPL/MPK = <u>U√K x 1/2√L</u>

                                 U√L x 1/2 √K       = K/L

At optimum,

MRTSS = PL/PK

             = K/L  = 2/18 = 1/9

             L= 9K

Q= U√K√L

60 =U√K √9K

60 = U x 3 x K

K=5

L=9 X 5 = 45

TL= wl + rk = PL x L+ PK x K

= 2L + 18K

= 2x Q²/16K + 18 x Q²/16L

Q²/8K+ 9Q²/8L

=Q²/8 x 5+ 9Q²/8x 45 =1/40 x 2Q²

MC= Q²/20 = 2Q/20 = Q/10 =60/10 = 6

MC = 6
