You have been offered a note that will pay $4,500 at the end of
each of the next four years. The price of the note to you is
$13,700. The rate of return you will earn if you buy this note is
____%.
Price of note = Present Value of Annual amount received discounted at rate of return
13700 = 4500/(1+rate of return)^1 +4500/(1+rate of return)^2 +4500/(1+rate of return)^3 +4500/(1+rate of return)^4
We will use heat and trial method to get that value of rate of return for which above equation satisfies.
Rate of return = 11.89% Answer
We can also get above value using financial calculator:
N =4
PV = -13700
PMT = 4500
FV = 0
Compute I/Y
I/Y = rate of return = 11.89%
