Operating income is calculated as Sales Revenue minus Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and Selling and Administrative Expenses. COGS is calculated as Beginning Inventory + Purchases + Freight In - Ending Inventory. Thus, COGS = $46,000 + $304,000 + $14,000 - $42,000 = $322,000. Operating Income = $593,000 - $322,000 - $68,000 = $203,000.
