Hi There Mhealthinsight,
I know what you mean, Suppose that the inverse demand for hot dog at the cart outside of Harvill are as follows:

Inverse demand: P = 4 – 1/3Q inverse supply: P = 2/3Q

a.) graph the Supply and Demand and solve for the equilibrium price and quantity.

b.) suppose that the Surgeon General releases a statement announcing that hot dogs may lead to an increased chance of getting cancer. Graph the effect on Demand and explain how equilibrium price and quantity change?

c.) Now suppose that in addition to the demand stock from (b), the price of hot dog buns decreases (assume the hot dog buns are an input of hot dogs). Graph the effect and explain how the equilibrium price and quantity are affected (Be as specific as possible).
Catch you again soon!
