A. $113,000

B. $99,000

C. $101,000

D. $116,000

Answer: $116,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The net operating income will be the operation profit after deducting the expenses from the accrued revenue (reserve exclusive)

The revenue generated are $215,000 + $3,000

= $218,000

Expenses incurred;

$102,000

The net operating income = $218,000 - $102,000

= $116,000

Note that reserves is not used in business operation. Therefore it cannot be regarded either as revenue or expenses.
