23. The deadweight loss associated with the competitive market outcome is represented by area C. Hence,option(C) is correct.
24. A $10 tax on producers would lead to largest reduction in the deadweight loss that results from the competitive market outcome.And a $45 tax on producers would lead to full reduction in deadweight loss and lead to competitive market outcome. Hence, option(A) is correct.
