The Table below shows the prices and supply and demand for flu shots in millions. Not taking into account the benefits from flu shots, what are the equilibrium price and quantity from flu shots? Now suppose that every flu shot generates $10.00 in external benefits (from others being likely to get sick). Show how this positive externality affect the curve (draw a new curve on the graph). Taking into account external benefits, what would be the new equilibrium price and quantity of the flu shot? Price ( in $) Demand , Flu shots (in millions) Supply, Flu Shots( in millions) 10 8.0 2.0 20 4.0 6.5 30 3.5 3.5 40 4.5 6.5 50 3.0 7.0 60 2.0 8.0 Without taking into account the benefits of the flu shots the equilibrium price is $35 and the equilibrium quantity is 5. After supposing that every flu shot generates @10.00 in external benefits the new equilibrium price is $45 and the quantity is 7
