Managers may engage in classification shifting by reporting operating expenses as non operating expenses to inflate reported operating income.

Explanation:

The expenses that are not related to the principle activities of a business is treated as non-operating expense

A non-operating expense is an expense incurred from activities unrelated to core operations.
