Answer:

Explanation:

An increase of sales to $33000: (33000 - 30000) / 30000 = 10%

Sales 33000

Cost (22000+ 10% of 22000) (24200 )

EBIT 8800

Tax 40% 3520

Net Income 5280

Assets (56100+10% of 56100) 61710

Total 58960

Debt 20500

Equity 38460

Total 61710

External financing needed is the difference between Assets and Liabilities+Equity, which is 61710 - 58960 = 2750
