    Answer: The correct answer is e). 3.67%

    Explanation: An ordinary annuity is a series of payments made at the end of each period.

    The formula for ordinary annuity is PV = PMT * ((1 - (1 + r) ^ - n) / r)

    Where; PMT = the periodic cash payment; r = the interest rate per period; n = the total number of periods and PV = present value.

    Therefore; 3500000 = 250000 * ((1 - (1+r) ^-20) / r

    This will give the rate as 3.67%
