Operating Income: Operating income means the amount of profit that we have gained from a business operation. This is calculated by deducting the operating expense. Operating expense is the wage or depreciation.
Cost of Operation: Cost of Revenue can be defined as the total of different costs that we have incurred following the production, marketing, and distribution of products or services to the end-users.

Expenses: IT is the amount we spent as labor charge, material cost, or other charges for making a product or offering a service.
