The answer is 8.80%.

Explanation:

To answer this question we should use either the formula of present value (PV) or Future value (FV). Either of them will give the answer because they are inverse to each other.

FV = PV (1 + r) ^t

Solving r, we get

r = (FV/FV) ^ (1-t) - 1

r = ($1,630,000 / $270) ^ (1-102) - 1

r = 0.0891 or 8.91%
