    Future value FV = $325,000

    Investment I = $40,000

    Number of years n = 16

    Annual rate = r

    We have the equation FV = I (1 + r) ^n = > 325000 = 40000 (1 + r) ^16

    (1 + r) ^16 = 325 / 40 = > 1 + r = (325 / 40) ^ (1/16) = > 1 + r = 1.1398

    Rate of Interest r = 1.1398 - 1 = 0.1398 that is 13.98%

    Annual rate of Interest r = 13.98%
