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

Environmental footprints such as carbon impact are not taken for granted by investors as they perceive a company as being responsible and worthy of their investment if it cares about the environment and its impact of negative externalities on its host community.

Hence, such companies that are conscious  have their shares being highly  demanded, forcing share price to rise  as well as the overall value of the entity.
