    Price of B is $4

    Explanation:

    Marginal rate of transformation is defined as the amount of a good x has to stop being produced inorder to produce a certain amount of a good y. Factors of production and technology used are assumed to be constant.

    In this scenario the marginal rate of transformation is - 2, that is 2 units of good B can be traded for 1 unit of good Z, mathematically

    2 * Pb = Pz

    Substitute price of Z

    2 * Pb = $8

    Pb = 8 : 2

    On = $4
