Answer:

C- Shortages are temporary while scarcity always exists because there will always be a greater need for limited resources.

Explanation:

Shortage is when the quantity available is short compared with the demand at that time. It breaks the balance of the market by adding more demand than the supply existing. The situation would continue until the demand decrease, then it all should be back to normality. That is why shortage is temporally

Scarcity, on the other hand, means that something is uncommon and the availability of it is limited naturally. Scarcity is permanent because these types of resources are hard to find or produce.

I hope this answer helps you.

Answer:

The answer to this question is B: Delivers shares that are borrowed on settlement date

Explanation:

As long as it is a short sale, it simply means it is the sales of borrowed shares. Selling 100 shares of ABC shorts simply implies that at some point, there was speculation of a possible drop in the prices of security, and thus the shares was borrowed from a broker to sell. The intention is to buyback the stock and return to the lender when the price drops.
