Question 21 • Personal Finance - EL3403

Which situation best illustrates the concept of scarcity?

Answer
A
a class designing and selling calendars
B
a cook learning to be an executive chef
C
a friend buying a copy of a popular DVD
D
a person buying a used car due to limited income

Explanation

Scarcity occurs when resources are limited compared with people’s wants. A person with limited income cannot afford every car they might want, so the budget constraint illustrates scarcity. Buying a popular DVD or working toward a career does not show this idea as directly.
