Suppose you only want to wait 5 years to reach $20,000. What interest rate do you need?
N=
1%=
PV=
PMT=
FV=20
P/Y=
C/Y=
PMT: END BEGIN

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

8 2/3 is the answer
