Answer to Question 1

The base of a tax is the measure or value upon which the tax is levied. The rate structure of a tax determines the portion of the base that must be paid in tax.

Answer to Question 2

A perfectly contestable market is a market in which entry and exit are costless. An example of a perfectly contestable market is the market for trucking services. The firms are forced to behave efficiently because of the threat of competition.
