Let the average return be r% per month.
So, the future value of this monthly annuity is $47341.19
let the amount be deposited at the end of the period, the first amount remained invested for 1 month less than 15 years i.e. 179 months , 2nd amount remained invested for 178 month and so on and there are a total of 180 installments
=> 120* (1+r)(179) + 120* (1+r)(178) + ..... + 120 = 47341.19
Writing the terms in reverse, we have
120* + 120* (1+r)(2) + 120* (1+r)(3) + ..... + 120* (1+r)(179) = 47341.19
LHS is a Geometric progression with sum = a *(rn-1) / (r-1) where a is the first term and r is the common ratio , n is the no of terms
=> 120 *( (1+r)* 180 -1 ) / ((1+r)-1 ) = 47341.19
=> ((1+r)180 -1 ) / ((1+r)-1 ) = 394.51
So, r has to be found by hit and trial method
we get r =0.78834% per month
= 0.78834 *12% per annum
= 9.46% per annum
