Net operating income calculation is done to check how much of the income is generated by the company's investment. It can be taken out by subtracting all the expenses ( variable in this case, because net income is to be taken out as per variable costing ) from all the revenues generated by the company.

REVENUES OF THE COMPANY = $971,850

EXPENSES= direct labor ( given in the question as variable cost )

= $112,488 + $224,976 + $188,352 + $108,680

= $634,496

So net operating income = revenues - expenses

= $971,850 - $634,496
