Find the interest rate needed for the sinking fund to reach the required amount. Assume that the compounding period is the same as the payment period. $40,000 to be accumulated in 11 years; annual payments of $2717
Therefore , from excel solver we get i = 0.0568030382289944
or i = 5.680%
Hence , the interest rate required is 5.680%
