Your folks just called and would like some advice from you. An insurance agent just called them and offered them the opportunity to purchase an annuity for $29,652.76 that will pay them $3,000 per year for 20 years, but they don't have the slightest idea what return they will be making on their investment of $29,652.76. What rate of return will they be earning?
Let rate of return be x%
At this rate;present value of annuity=29,652.76
29,652.76=3000/1.0x+3000/1.0x^2+...........+3000/1.0x^20
Hence x=rate of return=7.91%(Approx)
