Question 10 • * HSA 26-27 Economics

The chess club needs to raise money for tournament uniforms.

Based on the concept of scarcity, which thought should drive members' decision-making process to determine how to fundraise?

Answer
W
Where will unsold energy drinks be stored?
I
Is there enough consumer demand for a car wash?
W
Will the concession stand be open during the big game?
A
Are there enough volunteers to work a car wash?

Explanation

Scarcity means resources are limited, so the club should consider whether it has enough labor to carry out a fundraising plan. Asking whether enough volunteers are available recognizes that volunteers’ time is a scarce resource. The correct choice is “Are there enough volunteers to work a car wash?”
