The sales revenue is $1,000 and the cost of goods sold is $500. The depreciation is $100, administrative expenses is $100, interest expenses is $20, Marketing expenses is $80 and taxes is $100. 

Compute the operating income, using the equation as shown below:

Operating income=Sales-Cost of goods sold-Depreciation-Administrative expenses-Marketing expenses=$1,000-$500-$100-$100-$80=$220

Hence, the operating income of the company is $220.
