To determine operating income, we focus on revenues and the operating expenses directly tied to producing and selling goods, excluding non-operating items.

First, compute gross profit as Revenue minus Cost of Goods Sold: 866 − 259 = 607. This value represents the profitability from core production before operating expenses.

Next, subtract the operating selling expenses: 607 − 124 = 483. This step accounts for costs directly tied to selling activities.

Then, subtract the administrative expenses: 483 − 229 = 254. Administrative costs are part of ongoing operating expenses and reduce operating income.

Now evaluate the options:
- $607: This equals gross profit (Revenue minus COGS) but does not subtract selling and administrative expenses, so it is not operating income.
- $378: This would be the result if you subtracted only the administrative expenses from gross profit (607 − 229) and did not include the selling expenses, which is incomplete for operating income.
- $254: This matches the correct calculation after deducting both selling and administrative expenses from gross profit, i.e., the operating income.
- $197: This would imply further deductions beyond selling and administrative expenses, or misallocation of items; it does not align with the standard operating-income calculation here.

As a cross-check, non-operating items such as Gain on Sale of Securities (46), Loss on Discontinued Operations (38), and Loss on Disposal of Equipment (86) are not included in operating income by definition, so they do not alter the $254 result.

Therefore, the operating income for Tuche Millinery is $254, and the other numbers arise from misclassifying or omitting operating components.
