A collector bought an antique for $1550. he sold it 9 years later for $2200. what was the collectors annual effective yield rate?
Collector bought an antique for $1550
He sold it 9 years later at Future value of $2200
Calculating its annual effective yield rate:-
Future Value = Present Value*(1+r)^n
Where,
r = Effective Annual Interest rate
n= no of periods = 9
Present Value = $1550
$2200 = $1550*(1+r)^9
1.4193548387 = (1+r)^9
Taking 9-root on both sides,
1.039678 = (1+r)
r = 3.97%
So, the collectors annual effective yield rate is 3.97%
