State four problems the consumers encounter in the process of satisfying their wants. (4mks)

Problems the consumer encounter in the process of satisfying their wants.

Human wants are un-limited/endless and cannot be satisfied with the limited natural recourses. Hence, consumers are faced with the problem of choice.
The recurrent nature of their wants. Hence, the consumer has to keep satisfying them as they arise.
The changing nature of wants renders the consumer unable to satisfy new emerging wants.
The complementary nature of wants makes it not easy to satisfy one want leaving out the other to be satisfied later .
The competitive nature of some human wants makes it difficult for the consumer to decide which want to be satisfied first and which will follow.
Limited resources do not match the many human wants/few resources available to satisfy the many wants.
Increases in prices of goods lower the purchasing power of many consumers.

Features of human wants

They continually change with time, age and gender. What is required when it is cold may not be the same as what is required when it is hot.
They arc habit forming - once an individual develops taste for a commodity he/she tends to use it over and over again.
Require resources - limitation in resources required means only a few human wants are fulfilled/require resources in order for them to be satisfied.
They are universal/common to all human beings - all human beings need goods and services for existence though quantities may vary.
They are competitive - wants compete for attention each yearning to be satisfied.
They vary in intensity - urgency/some wants are more felt than others e.g. Basic wants/some may not be postponed.
They are complimentary - satisfaction of one creates a second derived from the first. e.g. for the second to be satisfied, it requires to be complemented by the first while others are satisfied jointly.
Insatiable - wants cannot be fully satisfied.
Recurrent/repetitive - once satisfied they are felt again.
