Answer:

C) $6,000 worth of buyer surplus and $4,000 of seller surplus

Explanation:

Buyer surplus is the result of the difference between the price that a buyer is willing to pay for a good, and the good's actual price: $30,000 - $24,000 = $6,000

Seller surplus is the result of the difference between the good's actual price, and the price that a seller is willing to charge for the good: $24,000 - $20,000 = $4,000
