    Explanation:

    This involves perpetual annuity, where there are equal cash flows for infinity paid in specific durations

    To find the interest rate we use the perpetuity cash flows equation.

    Present value (P) = Yearly payments (Y) / Interest rate (I)

    P = $472,000

    Y = $27,000

    I=?

    So 472,000 = 27,000/I

    Cross-multiply

    472,000*I = 27,000

    I = 27,000/472,000

    I = 0.0572

    Remember to express interest as percentage

    I = 0.0572 * 100 = 5.72%
