Answer:

8.19%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER represents the time period.  

Given that,  

Present value = $942.90

Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 7.5% ÷ 2 = $37.50

NPER = 14 years × 2 = 28 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this,  the answer would be 8.19%
