    =$120,000

    Explanation:

    Operating income is earnings before taxes and interests. It is Gross profits minus other expenses apart from taxes and interests.

    Gross profits will be sales revenue - costs of goods sold.

    = $440,000 - $180,000

    =$260,000

    Operating income will gross profit - (advertising + salaries + utilities)

    = $260, 000 - (60,000 + 55,000 + 25,000)

    =$260,000 - $140,000

    =$120,000
