2. Marcus, Inc. purchased a rare coin for $219,000 three years ago. Today, they resold that coin for $297,500.What annual rate of return did the firm earn on this investment?

(1) $9,973.15

(2) 10.7%

Explanation:

(1) A = P(1+r)^n

A (estimated cost of the wedding) is the total amount to be saved = $52,000

r = interest rate = 3.5% = 0.035

n = duration of savings = 4 years = 4×12 = 48 months

52000 = P(1+0.035)^48

52000 P(1.035)^48

52000 = P(5.214)

P = 52000/5.214 = 9,973.15

Amount to be saved each month is $9,973.15

(2) A = P(1+r)^n

A is the total amount the coin was resold = $297,500

P is the amount the coin was purchased = $219,000

n is the duration of the investment = 3 years

297,500 = 219,000(1+r)^3

(1+r)^3 = 297,500/219,000

(1+r)^3 = 1.358

1+r = (1.358)^1/3

1+r = 1.107

r = 1.107 - 1 = 0.107 = 10.7%
