However a reduction in the Tea supply (a substitute good) causes demand to go up for coffee beans and price to rise by $10. At this new price marginal revenue equals marginal cost at Q=120. Using graphs: plot Sams situation before and after the demand shift (Plot the situation before and after the change in the price of tea on the same graphs).
