Answer #1

Amount Invested = $15,500
Semiannual Payment = $1,400
Semiannual Period = 24 (12 years)

Let semiannual interest rate be i%

$15,500 = $1,400 * PVA of $1 (i%, 24)

Using financial calculator:
N = 24
PV = -15500
PMT = 1400
FV = 0

I = 7.406%

Semiannual Interest Rate = 7.406%

Annual Interest Rate = 2 * Semiannual Interest Rate
Annual Interest Rate = 2 * 7.406%
Annual Interest Rate = 14.812% or 14.81%
