Answer 1

Answer:

Net operating income= $203,000

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the cost of goods sold:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory

COGS= 46,000 + (304,000 + 14,000) - 42,000

COGS= $322,000

Now, we can determine the net operating income using the following formula:

Net operating income= sales - cogs - Selling and Administrative Expenses

Net operating income= 593,000 - 322,000 - 68,000

Net operating income= $203,000
