A local school administrator observes an increase in the number of flu cases in the public schools over the last two years. She is concerned that some families cannot afford flu vaccine and are therefore not having children vaccinated. She is also concerned that the failure to vaccinate some children is putting other children at risk, so she proposes that the state subsidize vaccines to increase coverage rates. a. Determine whether the failure to vaccinate some children is an external benefit or an external cost. If an external cost is present, move point A and point B to show the marginal social cost curve. If an external benefit is present, move point A and point B to show the marginal social benefit curve. Place point C at the equilibrium outcome. Place point D at the socially optimal outcome. Flu vaccines A B D Supply (marginal private cost) Price
