There is a positive externality associated with vaccines


Demand for childhood vaccines is described by inverse demand P(dp)=30-Q , while supply is described by P(s)=10+Q . There is a positive externality associated with vaccines, such that the extra value is P(dex)=20.

b. On the graph, draw the private market equilibrium, making sure to label the private optimal quantity and price.
