    16.59%

    Explanation:

    We are given the present value of the bonds, their future value and the time, we need to calculate the rate:

    FV = PV (1 + rate) ⁿ

    FV = 100,000 PV = 999.38 n = 30

    100,000 = 999.38 (1 + rate) ³⁰

    (1 + rate) ³⁰ = 100,000 / 999.38 = 100.062

    1 + rate = ³⁰√100.062 = 1.1659

    rate = 1.1659 - 1 = 0.1659 or 16.59%
