[KN] Scarcity is lack of resources.
[APP] For instance if a consumer wants to buy a new phone but also wants a new laptop however due to limited resources (funds) he can only buy one.
[AN] Hence if he buy phone then the work which would have been done from laptop would be slow resulting in late submission hence job loss, creating financial problems, leading to demotivation.

[KN] Scarcity means consumers have limited income and can not satisfy all their wants.
[APP] For example, a consumer may not be able to afford both a holiday and a new car at the same time.
[AN] This affects them because they are forced to make a choice between the two, selecting one means giving up the other, which becomes the opportunity cost and this limits the overall satisfaction they can achieve from their spending.

(KN) Scarcity means there are limited resources but unlimited wants.
(APP) For example, if there is a drought happening in a region this would increase the price of wheat which would also increase the price of goods like bread.
(AN) So the average consumer may have to pay more or search for other options. Thus putting a limit on the consumers ability to buy other things.

[KN] Scarcity can limit the availability of certain goods, forcing consumers to compete for what is left.


[APP]For example, if fuel supplies are scarce, drivers may find petrol stations running out or introducing purchase limits.


[AN]This affects consumers because they may struggle to access the product when they need it, which could disrupt daily routines like commuting to work or school.

Scarcity affects consumers because they have limited income and cannot buy everything they want. For example, someone may want both a holiday and a new car, but cannot afford both. This forces them to make a choice and give up one option.

[KN] Scarcity means resources are limited, which can make prices rise or reduce the choices available to consumers.
{APP] eg fresh vegetables are scarce, a consumer may not be able to buy their preferred groceries and might have to choose cheaper or less desirable options.
[AN] As a result, consumers have to make decisions about what they value most, showing that scarcity forces careful choices.

KN: The option/product/service that they want may become less
APP: Example a parent wants more schools/better education for their child, however due to scarcity of resources the government may be spending their funds on hospitals/army.
AN: Hence this may cause the consumer to get dissatisfied with the government/business in question, hence leading to distrust in the future aswell and overall bad mental health. Also, it may even cause severe consequences if they NEED that product/service like schools that are important for their future and can cause the family to go into financial problems due to illetracy and unemployment hence causing life-threatening problems aswell.
