Answer:

$400

Explanation:

The computation of the corrected operating income is shown below:

= Sales revenue - costs of goods sold - SG&A Expense

= $1,600 - $800 - $400

= $400

The gross profit would be

= Sales revenue - costs of goods sold

And the operating income would be

= Gross profit - SG&A Expense

For computing the operating income, we deduct the costs of goods sold and the SG&A Expense from the sales revenue
