Problem:
Minnesota Metal Forming Company has just invested $500,000 of fixed capital in a manufacturing process, which is estimated to generate an after-tax annual cash flow of $200,000 in each of the next 5 years. At the end of year 5, no further market for the product and no salvage value for the manufacturing process is expected. If a manufacturing problem delays plant start-up for 1 year (leaving only 4 years of process life), what additional after-tax cash flow will be needed to maintain the same internal rate of return as would be experienced if no delay occurred?
