Assets and costs are proportional to sales. Debt and equity are not. No dividends are paid. Next year’s sales are projected to be $9,408. What is the external financing needed? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
