You will find several (more than one) negative cash flows when calculating the differences between the net cash inflows of two projects. As a result, the calculation of the incremental ERR is no longer direct as the calculated external rate of return (i*) must be used for all negative cash flow differences. Using Excel's Solver add-in function, determine the incremental external rate of return between the Alpha and Gamma investments. In the example below, MARR (usually 10% for our purposes) cannot be used to calculate the future value of the negative cash flow differences at EOYO, EOY3 and EOY4. Use the ERR (i*) to bring all negative cash flow differences to EOY5 and MARR (=10%) to bring all positive cash flow differences to EOY5. Find the ERR (i.e., i*) which sets the future worth of negative cash flow differences equal to that of the positive cash flow differences between the Alpha and Gamma pumps. With more than one negative cash flow difference, the answer obtained with Excel's MIRR function will be different (and incorrect) from the answer obtained with Excel's Solver
