In a book named Treasure, the reader has to figure out
where a 2.2 pound, 24 kt gold horse has been buried. If the horse
is found, a prize of $27,067 a year for 20 years is provided. The
actual cost to the publisher to purchase an annuity to pay for the
prize is $284,200. What interest rate (to the nearest percent) was
used to determine the amount of the annuity? (Assume end-of-year
payments.) (Round factor values to 5 decimal places, e.g.
1.25124. Round answer to the nearest whole dollar, e.g.
5,275.)
