Step 1

An accounting term known as operational income quantifies the amount of profit made from a company's activities after operating costs like salaries, depreciation, and cost of goods sold have been subtracted.

Operating income, also known as income from operations, is calculated by deducting all operating costs from a company's gross income, which is equal to total sales less COGS. Operating costs are those incurred by a business during regular business operations and include things like office supplies and utilities.
