Given demand curve for Silvana Chocolates Company ( SCC )
QD = 10,000 - 25P.

e. Suppose that the price of SCC rose to P = $250.What would be the new point-price elasticity of demand? What is total revenue at this price? What is marginal revenue at this price?
f. Suppose that the supply Curve of SCC is given by the equation QS = -5,000 + 50P.What is the relationship between quantity supplied and quantity demanded at a price of $300?
g. In this market, what is the equilibrium price and quantity?

Please indicate whether it is heterodox or neoclassical.

1. Price = average revenue according to demand at the quantity where marginal cost = marginal revenue

2. Technological change can cause obsolescence and therefore can be harmful to firms

3. Price competition between firms is an essential part of the equilibrating process in capitalist economies

4. Price competition is very often destabilizing, threatening the survival of the firm

5. Price = average costs (direct and overhead) times (one plus the profit mark-up)
