Question

Which is an example of a positive incentive for consumers?

a sales tax imposed by a state
a steady rise in profits over a year
a coupon clipped from a newspaper

Answer 1

A coupon clipped from a newspaper.

Explanation: A positive incentive encourages a behavior (here, buying) by offering a benefit (lower price). The other options either raise costs or reward producers, which are not positive incentives for consumers.
