3. The advantage of extending credit to customers is the anticipated
increase in sales expected from customers who will purchase goods
only if they can receive credit. The disadvantages of extending credit
are the additional costs incurred to keep track of amounts owed, the
additional costs incurred when staff need to be assigned to follow up
on late account balances, and the risk of not collecting a receivable
from a customer who is unable to pay.
