I think “rogue” and “roar”

Both of these use ROE in the numerator, but one uses “g” and the other uses “r”. The denominator is, of course, the ubiquitous Dr. Caprate (r-g).

So it’s ROE - g, as in “rogue”, and ROE - r, as in “roar”. Since Residual income starts with “r”, that’s how I remember which is which. Maybe the moniker P. B. Rogue is useful.

“For those experiencing difficulty correctly identifying the two error types, the following mnemonic is based on the fact that (a) an “error” is false, and (b) the Initial letters of “Positive” and “Negative” are written with a different number of vertical lines:
