There is no data attached but<span> the question can be answered without it. The analyst's conclusion that they should hire more people to drive higher sales is not justified because the area of the bookstore is small and is constant.

Answer:
12.18%
Explanation:
Present value = $34,700
Future Value = $173,500
Time (n) = 14 years
Interest Rate = i
Future Value = Present Value * (1+i)^n
$173,500 = $34,700 * (1 + i)^14
(1 + i)^14 = $173,500/$34,700
(1 + i)^14 = 5
1 + i = 5^(1/14)
1 + i = 1.1218284
i = 1.1218284 - 1
i = 0.1218284
i = 12.18%
So, the annual interest rate she must earn is 12.18%.
