    Option (b) $30

    Explanation:

    As per the data given in the question,

    marginal product of labor per capital should be equal to marginal product of capital i. e.

    Marginal product of labor : Price of capital = Marginal product of capital : wage

    Price of capital = Marginal product of labor * Wage : Marginal product of capital

    = (75 * $10) : 25

    Price of capital = $30
