You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If FV=P*(1+r)^y, where FV is future value, P is the principal (or original value), r is the annual interest rate, and y is years; then:
\n" ); document.write( "22,000=200(1+r)^72
\n" ); document.write( "110=(1+r)^72
\n" ); document.write( "ln 110=ln (1+r)^72=72 ln (1+r)
\n" ); document.write( "ln (1+r)=ln 110/72=0.06528444952489466983444354212013
\n" ); document.write( "e^ln (1+r)=(1+r) ln e=1+r=e^0.06528444952489466983444354212013
\n" ); document.write( "r=1.0674626204384954364596339051461 - 1= 0.0674626204384954364596339051461
\n" ); document.write( "The rate of return would be 6.74626204384954364596339051461%
