    The company's net income for the month was $27 comma 000

    Explanation:

    Net income = Total Sales - total expense

    During the month of May,

    Total Sales = credit sales + cash sales = $35,000 + $25,000 = $60,000

    The company paid wages of $ 24 comma 000, the wages expense was $ 24 comma 000.

    The company paid utilities of $ 9 comma 000, the utilities expense was $ 9 comma 000

    Total expense = wages expense + utilities expense = $24,000 + $9,000 = $33,000

    The payment that the company received from its customer was not the sales or expense. It made increase cash and reduce account receivable.

    Net income = $60,000 - $33,000 = $27,000
