Answer to Problem 1RQ

Inadequacies of goods and services generally decide the pricing and when the there is shortage or scarcity, the price is higher. Resources cannot be measured until it is demanded.

Explanation of Solution

Generally, small quantities or inadequate quantities are called scarcity of the goods and when the goods and services are valued at the situation of scarcity, and then the price is normally a bit higher than the normal prices. Valuation of resources cannot be done until there is a demand of resources. Till the demand is there, the resources have zero value. At the times, when Oil was discovered, it was having no value but as soon as the resources getting reduced the price become high and high. Hence, it can be said that the resource cannot be said scarce until the demand is there and there is value of it.

Suppose that when the price of gold is $100 an ounce, gold producers find it unprofitable to sell gold. However, when the price is $200 an ounce, 5000 ounces of output (production) is profitable. At $300, a total of 10,000 ounces of output is profitable. Similarly, total production increases by 5000 ounces for each successive $100 increase in the price of gold. Describe the relevant relationship between the price of gold and the production of gold in words, in a table, and on a graph. Put the price of gold on the vertical axis and the output of gold on the horizontal axis. Comment on the advantages and disadvantages of the verbal, tabular, and graphical forms of description.
