Answer 1

The cash bonuses are an example of this economic principle of People usually take advantage of opportunities to make themselves better off.

Explanation:

A cash bonus applies to a large amount of money offered to an individual for good performance either periodically or daily. An employee, division or the whole organisation, depending upon the extent at which performance goals were achieved may earn a cash bonus for higher than expected achievements.
