The required rate of return is 16.23% for the investment
The principal amount invested for a child's college education= $10091
Required amount in future for education= $23194
Number of years for which amount is invested= 8 years
Interest earned in 8 years = 23194-10091 = $13103
Using the formula of simple interest, to find the rate of return:
Simple interest = P*R*T/100
where P = principal amount invested
R = rate of return
and T = time period for which the principal is invested
Substituting the values in the formula we get the following:
13103 = 10091*R*8/100
13103 = 807.28*R
R = 16.23%
So, the rate of return is 16.23%
