Hank made payments of $187 per month at the end of each month for 30 years to purchase a piece of property. He promptly sold it for $172,787. What annual interest rate would he need to earn on an ordinary annuity for a comparable rate of return?

We are given with
A = 187 per month
n = 30 years
F = 172787

What is asked is i
The formula is
A = Fi / (1 + i)^n
Substituting
187 = 172787 i (1 + i)^(30x12)
Solve for i and convert to effective annual interest rate
