Start with the partial model in the file Ch$09$ P$10$ Build a Model.xlsx$,$ which contains the $2021$ financial statements of Zieber Corporation. Forecast Zieber's $2022$ income statement and balance sheets. Use the following assumptions: $(1)$ Sales grow by $8\%.(2)$ The ratios of expenses to sales, depreciation to fixed assets, cash to sales, accounts receivable to sales, inventories to sales, fixed assets to sales, accounts payable to sales, and accruals to sales will be the same in $2022$ as in $2021.(3)$ Zieber will not issue any new stock or new long$-$term bonds. $(4)$ The interest rate is $12\%$ 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 $11\%$ rate. $(7)$ The tax rate is $25\%.$

Calculate the 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 $13\%.$ Assume that any draw on the line of credit will be made on the last day of the year, so there will be no additional interest expense for the new line of credit. If surplus funds are available, pay a special dividend.
