Marginal Revenue is the derivate (rate of change) of total revenue. Total revenue is = Price x Quantity. For instance, if the demand curve was Q = 100 - P, find the inverse demand (P = 100 - Q). Total Revenue = 100Q-Q^2
Therefore marginal revenue is the derivative of 100Q - Q^2.
MR = 100 - 2Q (thus twice the negative slope).

In short: inverse demand x Q, find the derivative.

What is static equilibrium in economics an show it graphically?

Static equilibrium in economics refers to a situation where the demand for a product equals its supply in a given market at a particular point in time, resulting in no incentive for price changes. Graphically, static equilibrium is shown at the point where the demand curve intersects the supply curve, indicating a stable market price and quantity.


Why is the demand curve not representative of price elasticity?

price elasticities are always negative hence brings ambiguities in the demand curve


Draw a demand curve illustrating price inelastic demand and explain how the curve relates to the definition of price elasticity of demand?

A perfectly inelastic demand curve will be completely horizontal and means that consumers would any price for a particular good, which is almost impossible. The closer to being horizontal a demand curve is, the more inelastic the demand.


Demand curve slopes downwards from left to right. this is the negative slope that shows the inverse relationship between price and demand. explain why does the demand curve slope downwards?

because demand decreases as price increases :)
