Answer:

scarcity means that a good is limited in supply, relative to it's demand.

Step-by-step explanation:

By limited, it means that the available resources are not enough for the satisfaction of a need.

Price hikes tells us of scarcity of a resource. When the price of a resource or good gets increased or is continuously increasing the price of the resource may show that it is scarce.

Management have to allocate resources in such a way that they do not have to run out of the resources or or they may decide to use substitute resources.
