Question 16 • Economics

Which of these is a positive incentive for domestic producers?

Answer
A
a subsidy on domestic oranges
B
a tariff on cars
C
a tariff on clothes
D
a subsidy on imported cars

Explanation

A subsidy is financial support that lowers producers’ costs or increases their returns, encouraging them to produce more. A subsidy on domestic oranges directly benefits domestic producers, so D is correct. Tariffs can protect domestic producers by making imports more expensive, but a tariff is not as direct a positive incentive as a subsidy.
