The expected incremental cash flow related to working capital when the store is opened is $98,000.

Explanation:

Incremental cash required = $700,000 * (0.03 + 0.05 + 0.10 - 0.04)

= $700,000*0.14

= $98,000

Therefore, The expected incremental cash flow related to working capital when the store is opened is $98,000.
