    Answer: $268.10

    Explanation:

    Assets and Costs are proportional to sales meaning they grow at the same rate.

    Sales rate of growth is,

    = (9,996-8,400) / 8400

    =19%

    Assuming that costs grew by 19% then Costs next year will be,

    = 6,390 * (1 + 0.19)

    = $7,604.1

    Meaning that Net Income is,

    = Sales - Costs.

    = 9,996 - 7,604.1

    = $2,391.9

    Retained earnings or net income is added to Equity

    Total Equity = 8,000 + 2391.9

    Total Equity = $10,391.90

    Total Assets also grew by 19% as per the question so,

    = 14,000 * (1 + 0.19)

    =$16,660

    Going by the Accounting Equation,

    Total assets = Total equity + Total debt

    Hence external financing needed

    16,660 = 10391.9 + 6000 + Additional funding

    Additional funding = 16,660 - 10391.9 - 6,000

    Additional funding = $268.10
