Answer:

C)Increase Net Cash from Operations on the Cash Flow Statement

Explanation:

When Andrews increases the depreciation charge of $3,144,267 to a higher amount, this will decrease the net operating income.  In computing the adjustment to net income for non-cash expenses, the increased depreciation will automatically increase the net cash from operations because of the tradeoff effects.  So, on the financial statements of Andrews, specifically on the Statement of Cash Flows, the increased depreciation expense or charge will positively increase the net cash from operating activities.
