This is done using excel goal seek tool:

C50.00 (1,000 x 5%)

time10 years

rate0.030011

PV$426.4860

Maturity   1,000.00

time   10.00

rate  0.030011071

PV   744.01

PV c$426.4860

PV m  $744.0139

Total$1,170.5000

market rate  = 0.030011071 = 3%

The procedure will be to build up the formulas and link the rates to a cell.

and then, click on the total cell and use goal seek changing the rate cell

the essential thought behind price controls is straightforward - utilize the power of law to modify the equilibrium of a market. for instance, the legislature may choose that the steel business needs to survive, and in this way pass a law to set a value floor on steel. this implies all steel sold must offer at or over the floor value, which must be set over the equilibrium cost for it to have any impact. the switch could likewise happen - the administration can choose that steel is excessively costly and set a value roof underneath its equilibrium value, with the goal that all steel must be sold at or beneath that ceiling.
