Answer:

The answer is "$272,000"

Explanation:

[tex]\text{Operating revenues}[/tex] [tex]= \$ 280,000 + \$ 488,000 = \$ 786,000[/tex]

[tex]\text{Operating expenses}[/tex] [tex]= \$ 350,000 + \$ 38,000 + \$ 48,000 + \$ 78,000 = \$ 514,000[/tex]

[tex]\text{Operating income = Operating revenues- Operating expenses}[/tex]

                            [tex]= \$ 786,000 - \$ 514,000\\\\ = \$ 272,000[/tex]
