The ERR is an alternative method which is based on: -ERR is the rate which makes the future value of Costs (- cash flows) = the future value of the revenues (+ cash flows) invested at the reinvestment rate for surplus funds (usually the MARR, Minimum Attractive Rate of Return). The external rate of return is not a true ROR like the internal rate but it may be easier to calculate, especially if there are swings of negative to positive to negative cash flows during the life of an investment. The function ‘err is satisfactory only when there are alternating + and - cashflows.\ i.e. minimum of: + - or - + -. The ERR appears to be a dual rate situation but there is only one unknown rate and it is exactly the same as the internal ROR when the PV of the positive flows equals the PV of the negative flows at the same discount rate. http://www.unb.ca/transpo/mynet/mtw29.ht... ^
Why do movie critics always give negative reviews?
They don't. "Always" is a strong word and just isn't true. Critical acclaim doesn't equal box office success and bad reviews doesn't equal box office failure. Sometimes they do overlap, but it's more and more rare. Why would bad movies be #1? Because people go to see stuff blow up and to take their mind off of things. CSI is one of the worst shows on TV yet it seems to always be in the top ten and was number 1 for years. What is the point of movie critics? Because people want an idea of what they are going to go see. Espcially in this time when movie tickets are so expensive and going to the movies is such a hassle. If I can sit home and watch a marathon of really good TV, why spend the money and time to go to the movies? THEIR (not there) reviews give insight, but the critic doesn't have any vested interest in whether or not anyone goes to see any particular film. Your sentence on your last question doesn't make sense, but I think I get the gist. I don't really care about negative reviews for action movies, unless the movie gets a D/F or one star. But on everything else, I do take it into consideration.
