Hello, I am having trouble with an equation I was given to figure out. To me it looks like the answer is 0 (zero); however, I don't think the university would have a problem with an answer of 0. Can you please help me with this one? This is how I got zero as an answer: Total Assets - Total liabilities and equity = External Financing Needed. ...which in my case I believe comes out to zero.
