Respuesta :

Answer:

inflation rate 5%

Explanation:

given data

principal = $9,905,971.09

mature amount = $1000000

time = 47 year  ( 2014 - 1967 )

to find out

inflation rate

solution

we apply here future value formula that is

FV = principal × [tex](1+rate)^{time}[/tex]    ..................................1

put here value we get rate

$1000000  = $9,905,971.09  × [tex](1+rate)^{47}[/tex]

solve it we get rate

rate = 5%
