Crane · Answer 1

Annual rate of return which will be earned from today is 5.89%

Explanation:

FV = PV (1+r) ^n

r is int Rate per anum abd n is balance period

10000 = 6700 (1 + r) ^n

10000 = 6700 (1 + r) ^7

(1 + r) ^7 = 10000 / 6700

= 1.4925

1+r = 1.4925^ (1/7)

= 1.0589

r = 1.0589 - 1

= 0.0589 i. e 5.89%
