Public officials are concerned about traffic congestion on freeways during rush hour in large cities. They want to reduce the number of cars on the freeways from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m, and from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. To achieve this, they introduce a rule that requires drivers to pay $30 per car to drive during rush hour. How do you think people will respond?

Several students were talking about taking time off after graduating from high school so that they could spend two years traveling around the world. One student remarked, "It's a great idea, but can you imagine how much it would cost? Even if you backpacked and camped out, it would still cost you $10,000!" An economics student replied that that sum of money would not amount to even half the cost. Explain what the economics student was talking about.

Essay Questions

Do students face scarcity? Define scarcity and provide two examples showing how students are confronted with scarcity if a teacher assigns them homework.

ESSAY QUESTION
Molly received a grade of  a D in economics because she did not complete enough of the homework assignments. She asked her teacher: “How could I complete all those assignments when I have so many things to do? I have a job after school. On Saturdays I am supposed to babysit while my mother goes to the grocery store. On Sundays, half the day is tied up at church. Who has time to do school work?” What would an economics teacher tell Molly?
