Interest rate of 11.84% is required to earn desired amount of $45,000 per year from an Investment of $380,000.

Explanation:

Amount of Investment = P = $380,000

Desired Return per month = A = $45,000

Number of Years = n = 10 years

Interest rate = ?

Use following formula to calculate Interest rate:

A = P x Interest rate

$45,000 = $380,000 x r

r = $45,000 / $380,000

r = 0.1184 = 11.84%
