The main thing we can do to manage the problem of scarcity is to not overspend.
Scarcity happen when the number of demand in our society heavily outnumber the amount of resources available. By observing our consumption behavior today, we will notice that a lot of people spend money to buy more goods or services that they actually need.
If we control this overspending behavior, not only people who overspend can save some of their money, there will be a lot of goods/services left for other people.

Answer:
10
Explanation:
Surplus for Donovan: 10 - 4.50 = 5.50
Surplus for Rudy: 8 - 4.50 = 3.50
Surplus for Mike: 6 - 4.50 = 1.50
Surplus for Royce: 4 - 4.50 = -0.50
Sum of all surpluses: 5.50+3.50+1.50-0.50=10
Answer:
0.09 or 9%
Explanation:
This question has some irregularities. The correct question should be :
Elinore is asked to invest $4,900 in a friend's business with the promise that the friend will repay $5,390 in one year's time. Elinore finds her best alternative to this investment, with similar risk, is one that will pay her $ 5,341 in one year's time. U.S. securities of similar term offer a rate of return of 7%. What is the opportunity cost of capital in this case?
Solution
Given from the question
Investment (I) = $4,900
Return on investment (ROI) in one year = $5,341
Rate or opportunity cost of capital r is given by
ROI = I × (1 + r)
input the given data
$5,341 = $4,900 (1 + r)
$5,341 = $4,900 + $4,900r
$5,341 - $4,900 = $4,900r
r = ($5,341 - $4,900) / $4,900
r = 0.09
Or 9% in percentage
