Question

Sue is 10 years old and would like to make a down payment on a vehicle when she is 16 years old. She currently has $2,000. What rate of return must Sue receive for her investment to double by the time she is 16?

Answer 1

The rate of return must be 12.25% per year

Step-by-step explanation:
