Hi
Note:
In General A+=+P%281%2Br%2Fn%29%5Ent
A = Accumulated Amount
P= principal = 2400
r= annual rate =
n= periods per year = 1
2475+=+2400%281%2Br%29%5E.5
%282475%2F2400%29+=+%281%2Br%29%5E.5
%281.03%29+=+%281%2Br%29%5E.5
ln(1.03) = ln(1+r)^.5
ln(1.03)/.5 = ln(1+r)
e^.059 -1 = r = .0609 OR 6.09%
