The answer is: $90,000

Explanation:

We must first determine the cost of goods sold:

COGS = variable costs = 70% x 1,000,000 COGS = $700,000

I will assume all fixed costs are operating expenses.

Then we elaborate a simple income statement:

Sales $1,000,000

COGS ($700,000)

Gross profit $300,000

Operating expenses ($210,000)

Operating profit $90,000
