b. Compare the buyers' marginal benefit and the seller's marginal cost at the firm's profit maximizing level of output.

Society is expending too many resources on flu vaccines. reflected by the marginal cost curve, so the marginal benefit is greater than the marginal cost. Society is expending too many resources on flu vaccines. O reflected by the demand curve, so the marginal benefit is greater than the marginal cost. Society would benefit if more flu vaccines were produced. c. If this were a perfectly competitive market, what would be the equilibrium price? Price: $ d. If this were a perfectly competitive market, what would be the equilibrium output? Equilibrium output: million doses
