External Rate of Return Method
ERR method directly takes into account the interest rate ( ) external to a project at which net cash flows generated or required by the project over its life can be reinvested or borrowed. If ERR=IRR, then the ERR method produces results identical to those IRR method. If ERR MARR, the project is economically justified.
Three steps in calculating ERR
1. All net cash outflows are discounted to time zero (the present) at % per compounding series. 2. All net cash inflows are compounded to period N at %. 3. Determine ERR.
