Answer:

7%

Explanation:

in order to solve this we can use the present value of an annuity formula:

present value of an annuity = annuity payment x annuity factor

  • present value of an annuity = $16,167
  • annuity payment = $3,000
  • annuity factor = ? all we know is that it lasts 7 periods

annuity factor = $16,167 / $3,000 = 5.389

using a present value of an annuity table, we can look for the annuity factor that corresponds to 7 periods and is equal to 5.389. In this case, the interest rate is 7% (annuity factor, 7%, 7 periods = 5.389)
