Answer: 2.70%

Step-by-step explanation:

Proper question is;

Upstate bank is offering long-term certificates of deposit with a face value of $100,000. Bank customers can buy these CDs today for $67,000 and will receive the $100,000 in 15 years. What interest rate is the bank paying on these CDs.

The formula to calculate rate is;

= (Future Value / Present Value) ^ 1/15 - 1

= (100,000 / 67,000) ^ 1/15 - 1

= 0.0270581026212

= 2.70%
