Figure A9.3: Shutdown Point after Zero Government Funding

Figure A9.4 illustrates yet another scenario. Here, the shutdown point occurs at a level of CHE production greater than Z% (the level of zero state and local government support), meaning some minimum level of state and local government support is needed for the college to operate at all. This minimum portion of overall funding is indicated by S'% on the left side of the chart, and as before, the shutdown point is indicated by S% on the right side of chart. In this case, state and local government support is appropriately credited with all the benefits generated by the college ’s CHE production, or B = B (100%).
