=$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
