Q: What effect can customers' income have on company sales?

Sales may increase when income rises Customer income is an important economic factor influencing purchasing power and demand. When income rises, consumers may have more disposable income and may purchase greater quantities, better-quality products, or additional services.

The word “may” is important because increased income does not guarantee higher sales in every market. Option A correctly states the likely relationship.
