Question:
An investment of $5,000 grows to $6,050 after 2 years with interest compounded annually. What is the annual interest rate?

Options

(A) 8%
(B) 9%
(C) 10%
(D) 11%
(E) 12%
Answer: (C) 10%

Explanation:
Using A = P(1 + r)²: 6,050 = 5,000(1 + r)². So (1 + r)² = 1.21, giving 1 + r = 1.1, thus r = 0.10 or 10%.
