    The external financing needed is $318

    Explanation:

    sales = 7900*1.15 = $9085

    costs = 5500*1.15 = $6050

    taxable income = $2760

    taxes = 2760*25% = $690

    dividends = 2070*40% = $828

    retained income = net income - dividends

    = $2070 - $828

    = $1242

    Total assets would be = $12500*1.15

    = $14375

    Total equity = $6700 + Addition to retained earnings

    = $6700 + $1242

    = $7942

    Total current liabilities = $2100*1.15

    = $2415

    Total liabilities = Current liabilities + Long term debt

    = $2415 + $3700

    = $6115

    Total liabilities and equity = Total liabilities+Equity

    = $6115 + $7942

    = $14057

    Total assets = Total liabilities + Total equity

    External financing needed = $14375 - $14057

    = $318

    Therefore, The external financing needed is $318.
