Today, you invest $7,000 in an investment that will pay $14,000 in 11 years. What is the implied rate of interest?
The rate of interest is computed as follows:
= (Amount in 11 years / Today's Investment) 1 / n - 1
= ($ 14,000 / $ 7,000) 1 / 11 - 1
= 2 1 / 11 - 1
= 2 0.09090909 - 1
= 6.50% Approximately
