Answer #1

The problem can be solved on a financial calculator (Teas BA II Plus) as described below:

- Input PV = - $ 65000 (Present Value is considered input and hence carries a negative sign)

- N = 5 ( as time in years between 25 and 30 is 5)

- PMT = 0 (as there are no periodic cash flows between 25 and 30 years)

- FV = $ 100000

- CMPT - > I / Y

The above steps when followed would give the annual rate of return as 8.997 %
