Question

value 5.00 points Although appealing to more refined tastes, art as a collectible has not always performed so profitably. Assume that in 2015, an auction house sold a statute at auction for a price of $10,689,500. Unfortunately for the previous owner, he had purchased it in 2009 at a price of $12,719,500 What was his annual rate of return on this sculpture? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Rate of return

Explanation / Answer

We use the formula:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
where
A=future value
P=present value
r=rate of interest
n=time period.

10689500=12719500(1+r/100)^6

(10689500/12719500)^(1/6)=(1+r/100)

(1+r/100)=0.971436816

r=(0.971436816-1)*100

which is equal to

=(2.86%)(Approx)(Negative).
