(4) The interest rate is 11% for long-term debt and the interest expense on long-term, debt is based on the average balance during the year. (5) No interest is earned on cash. (6) Regular dividends grow at an 8% Ft (6) Calculate the 9 additional funds needed (AFN). If new financing is required, assume it will be raised by drawing on a line of credit with an interest rate of 12%.
