Company C's expected cash flow is $2,400,000

Explanation:

Costs other than depreciation of Company C = 75% x $12,000,000 = $9,000,000

Income before tax = Sales - Costs other than depreciation - Depreciation expense = $12,000,000 - $9,000,000 - $1,500,000 = $1,500,000

The company's federal plus state tax rate is 40%,

Tax = $1,500,000 x 40% = $600,000

Company C's expected cash flow = Sales - Costs other than depreciation - Tax = $12,000,000 - $9,000,000 - $600,000 = $2,400,000

Note: Depreciation is a non-cash accounting expense, so it doesn't involve cash flow
