H5.
Use the following information to find the external financing needed (EFN):
Current sales: $6,000; Current costs: $3,000; Total Assets: $20,000; Total Debt: $8,000; Total equity: $12,000; Projected sales: $9,600. Total assets and costs are proportional to sales.

Your boss has decided to fund the project by borrowing money because the flotation costs are lower and the needed funds are relatively small.a. What do you think about the rationale behind borrowing the entire amount?b. What is your company’s weighted average flotation cost, assuming all equity is raised externally?
