Your questions are very unclear. Interest rates accumulate at different period. Daily (continuous compounding), monthly, quarterly, biannually, annually. How often does your investment at 5% accumulate?
I'll assume you're talking about annual rates and give you one answer:
1000 = x(1+0.05) = x*1.05 divide both sides by 1.05
x = 9,523.81

Compounded annually, highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+952.3809524%2C+or%2C+%22%24952.38%22%29%29 will accumulate to $1,000 in a year, at an interest rate of 5%. Where did you get $392 from?
Doubling the $952.38 in 5 years, to $1,904.76, will DEFINITELY take an interest rate of 14.87, as you stated.
Tripling the $952.38 in 10 years, to $2,857.14, will take an interest rate of 11.61%.
