Scarce resources compel producers to make choices about how to allocate their limited inputs, leading to opportunity costs. When a producer decides to use resources for one product, they forgo the potential benefits of producing an alternative product. This trade-off means that every decision has an associated cost, as the value of the next best alternative is sacrificed. Thus, scarcity influences production decisions and impacts overall economic efficiency.

What are scarce economic resources?
Resources that are limited and in demand are scarce, and therefore have a cost.
How does scarce resources give rise to opportunity cost?
The scarcer the resourse the greater the opportunity cost
Why producers should use resources which are abundant in supply?
Producers should use resources that are abundant in supply because they are typically more cost-effective and readily available, reducing production costs and ensuring a stable supply chain. Utilizing abundant resources can enhance efficiency and scalability, allowing producers to meet consumer demand more effectively. Additionally, leveraging these resources can foster sustainability by minimizing reliance on scarce materials, which may have environmental and economic risks associated with their extraction and use.
What is the evidence that resources are scarce?
There are four economic resources: Land, Labor, Capital and Entrepreneurship. These resources are scarce relative to human wants. They are never available in sufficient quantity to produce goods and services to satisfy all human wants. Thus, because when humans desire something or something more, the resources are slowly used up.Therefore, this leads to scarce resources. I took this from my Economics notes.
Is it likely that wants will ever be satisfied?
No.Our Resources are scarce whereas human wants are unlimited.we will always have to make choices that is opportunity cost will always arise.

What is alternative cost in economics?
According to the authors of the textbook Economics U$A, Opportunity Cost or Alternative Cost is the value of what certain resources could have produced have they been used in the best alternative way. Since economic resources are scarce, only a limited amount of goods and services can be produced from them and there arise the necessity of choice.
What is the relationship between production possibility frontier and opportunity cost?
An opportunity cost is the alternative choices that can be made with the allocation of scarce resources. A production possibility frontier is a graph illustrating those opportunities and comparing their results.
How scarcity force society to incur opportunity cost?
This is the basic economic problem: Infinite Wants--> Finite Resources--> Scarcity-->Choice--> Opportunity costs So the problem is: How can we allocate resources efficiently, knowing that they are an infinite number of wants (but fewer needs) and there are only a limited amount of resources, which are scarce. Because there is scarcity (deficit/lack of supply of resources), people are left with a choice: That choice is an opportunity cost. Opportunity costs is the cost/disadvantage that occurs from choosing the next-best-alternative because of scarcity. an example: the government wants to build a new highway, but ther land is scarce( there is not enough land), and so, the opportunity cost is to build a new public school. The opportunity cost is the efficiency and accesibilty of transportation. The next-best-alternative is usually chweaper but is in less quality/quantity than the initial good or service. So basically, because of scarcity, consuimers and producers have to make a choice: whose wants need to be satisfied? what is more important?
When an item becomes scarce how is the cost effected?
goes up
What are the 4 basic productions problems?
The four basic production problems are scarcity, choice, opportunity cost, and efficiency. Scarcity refers to the limited resources available to meet unlimited wants. Choice involves deciding how to allocate these scarce resources effectively. Opportunity cost represents the value of the next best alternative foregone when a decision is made, while efficiency pertains to maximizing output with the given resources.
When an item becomes scarce how is the cost affected?
the price goes up
What is the cost of the ben 10 deluxe omnitrix?
Although they are scarce in South Africa, they cost approx R400-00
