Vital capacity (VC)= inspiratory reserve volume + tidal volume + expiratory reserve volume. Inspiratory capacity (IC) = tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume. Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) = Expiratory reserve volume + residual volume.
So: VC= 4800 cc
IC = 3600 cc
FRC = 2400 cc

That was what I was just going to say, you beat me to it.
