    Explanation:

    In this question, we are asked to calculate the annual that would have been earned if a comic book bought in 1963 is sold in 2021.

    We proceed as follows:

    Price of comic book in 1963 = $0.14 or 14 cents

    Price of comic book in 2021 = $55,700

    The investment period = 58 years

    We represent the rate of interest earned by buying the book in 1963 and selling in 2021 as r.

    The Total amount A = P (1+r) ^n

    55,700 = 0.14 (1+r) ^58

    397,867 = (1+r) ^58

    By computation,

    1+r = 1.249

    r = 0.249

    This means that the rate of interest earned is 24.9%
