Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

a) If the market is competitive and left unregulated, 4 million doses will be administered.
b) If the Foundation underwrites the cost of the vaccine, the marginal cost of the vaccine will drop. The result will be similar to a government subsidy: part of the price of the vaccine will be paid for by the Foundation.. The market's efficiency will be increased.
