b) $20,802

c) $25,225

d) $38,807

Answer 1

$20, 802

Step-by-step explanation:

Operating income is the income after deducting the operating expenses. It is gross profit minus operating expenses.

Operating income is also known as operating income. It is also called earnings before interest and Taxes EBIT because it is operating income less operating expenses, excluding taxes and interest.

Operating income is calculated using the formula.

Gross profit -operating expenses = operating income

i.e,. Total sales- COGS -operating expenses = operating income

operating income =$59,919 - $21,112, -$18,005

Operating income = $20, 802
