Respuesta :

Answer:

a. 7.24%

b. 7.82%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER represents the time period.

Given that,  

Present value = $756.22

Future value = $1,000

NPER = 4 years

PMT = $0

The formula is shown below:

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the answer of part A is 7.24%

For Part B

Given that,  

Present value = $740

Future value = $1,000

NPER = 4 years

PMT = $0

The formula is shown below:

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the answer of part A is 7.82%
