Yes

Explanation:

In this question, we have to compare the total income based on credit extended The computation is shown below:

If credit is not extended, then the total income would be

= Service revenue + income from operations

= $48,000 + $19,000

= $67,000

If credit is extended, then the total income would be

= Service revenue + income from operations - additional expenses for wages and bad debts

= $87,000 + $19,000 - $34,000

= $72,000

Yes the company extend credit as the total income is increased by $5,000
