Answer:

the annual rate of return on the painting was  -13.17%

Explanation:

we will construct the equation for future value at the annual rate of return at which a  principal of 1,680,000 return 1,100,000 in three years:

Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount

Principal 1,680,000

time 3 years

Amount 1,100,000

rate          r

1,680,000 \: (1+ r)^{3} = 1,100,000

r = \sqrt[3]{ 1,100,000 \div 1,680,000} -1

r = -0.131650681 = -13.17%

As expected, because the amount after three years is lower than the principa the rate of return is negative
