Solution:

Using financial calculator  :  

                                            Pmt =55/2 = 27.5

                                          Pmt = 27.5

                                           Fv = 1000

                                            N = 9×2 =18

                                            Pv = - 950

                                    Press cpt and I/Y

                                         I / Y = 6.23%
