Scarcity is a fact where we allocate resources to our unlimited need and wants. This means that we cannot have everything we desired to have. Therefore, when our resources are less than our needs and wants, we somehow have to make choice by choosing among the best alternatives. As I mention above about the definition of scarcity, it reveals that scarcity is a major threat to the world of economic. So there’s no room for mistake in order to have impacts on the economy. This shows that theirs excess using of water on earth depleting wellbeing of an economy. Many governments begin to find ways to use water wisely. Fortunate, throughout this article it shows that many countries have made their choices. Such as, in Hong Kong they choose to use seawater to flush their toilets instead of using fresh water. This situation reveal the choices made by the governments due to scarcity. As it shows on the diagram, water scarcity around the world rise so more decisions of different countries will have to be made.

To define supply and demand, according to Hayes, he stated, “Demand refers to how much (quantity) of a product or service is desired by buyers and supply represents how much amount of a certain good producers are willing to supply when receiving a certain price”. In addition, when a product is put in market, producers (supply) and consumers (demand) most agree at price where they can both satisfy their needs and wants in which we get to a point of “equilibrium” where supply and demand meets. Therefore, producers must make sure that they will have profit from the products they produced. On the other hand, consumers can be able to buy the products. It shows that price of lambs starts to rise 10 cents per kg per month caused by suppliers’ scramble try to fill Easter orders which followed by low butchery rate. If this situation continues to rise it will contribute to bring risks for the producers in the future. This is because, they set their price above the price equilibrium which will lead to more supply than demand and will lead to excess supply.

Producers must try to understand economic profit because of cost of production and also plays an important role in how scarce resource are allocated in an economy. The Sky City is under a “perfect competition” which means that different companies are competing or producing the same product. This indicates that the companies should competes for the consumer’s money and interest. The graph above shows the profit maximization ruled which is applied to a perfect competitive market. The rule of a perfect competition is that demand = price = average revenue = marginal revenue. Producers may know that their point of maximization when their marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost. When marginal revenue is greater than the marginal cost, the profit maximizing producer may try to produce more output in order to get more profits.
