Answer:

-$134.88

Explanation:

Calculation for the external financing need

First step is to calculate the Projected total assets

Projected total assets = 1.05 × $203,000

Projected total assets = $213,150

Second step is to calculate Projected current liabilities

Projected current liabilities = 1.05 × $36,700

Projected current liabilities = $38,535

Third step is to calculate Current stockholders' equity

Current stockholders' equity = $203,000 - $36,700 - $78,400

Current stockholders' equity= $87,900

Fourth step is to calculate Projected shareholders equity

Projected shareholders equity = $87,900 + (1.05 × $185,000 × 0.058 × (1 - 0.25))

Projected shareholders equity = $96,349.88

Now let calculate the external financing need

External financing need = $213,150 - $38,535 - $78,400 - $96,349.88

External financing need= -$134.88

Therefore External financing need will be -$134.88
