Supply and Demand

In economy, supply and demand is a model that helps you to determine the price of something in the market considering the level of interest in the product and how scarce that product is.

If many people want the same resource and that resource is not common, the intrinsic value of it becomes considerably higher. If you want to have that, you might have to offer something of great value to its owner.

In today's market, it means that if a product is rare and many people want that, the value in money is going to go up.

Same goes for the example on the question, since the supply is low and the demand for water is high, those with more to offer are going to be the ones who get it. If it goes the other way around (too much water and not much interest in it), the price would decrease considerably.

aksik [14]

Answer: C. protect new industries

Explanation:

Tariffs are charges to imported goods with the double aim of reducing imports and earning more income from them.

In the early days of industrialization, the U.S. lagged behind the more advanced European economies which meant that the Europeans could produce things cheaper than Americans and therefore sell cheaper as well.

Congress therefore believed that to protect new companies that were rising to meet the challenge they had to impose tariffs so that people would stop buying more imports and switch to the goods produced by the new industries.
