calculating rate of return in 2018 , one of the first copper pennies struck at the philadelphia mint in 1973 was sold for $300,000

Respuesta :

Answer:

the rate of interest is 47%

Explanation:

The computation of the rate of return is shown below;

Given that

Future value = $300,000

Present value = 0.01

And, the NPER = 45

Now as we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 +  rate of interest)^time period

$300,000 = 0.01 × (1 + rate of interest)^45

$300,000 ÷ 0.01 =  (1 + rate of interest)^45

$30,000,000 =  (1 + rate of interest)^45

(1 + rate of interest) = $30,000,000 ^(1 ÷ 45)

So the rate of interest is 47%
