Question 949627: Kindly could anyone help to solve this problem please?
Mike loans Anita 8,200. Anita pays Mike 3,500 at the end of the first year and each year thereafter for a total of 3 payments. Mike reinvests the money in his bank account getting 5.0% compound annual interest. What yield did Mike earn over the 3 years (hint-what annual interest rate makes the time value of the cash flows equal)?

his cash flow and internal rate of return are shown below:

the solution is that he has earned an internal rate of return of 16.5%.

the cash flows for each year include the interest earned on the payments plus the interest that was re-invested.
