Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Operating income is calculated as Sales Revenue minus Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and Selling and Administrative Expenses. COGS is calculated as: Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Ending Inventory = $14,000 + $126,000 - $10,000 = $130,000. Operating Income = $250,000 - $130,000 - $90,000 = $30,000.
