    The interest rate the investment must earn in order that the death benefit could of $81,000 in 24 years' time can be derived from the rate formula in excel spreadsheet.

    =rate (nper, pmt,-pv, fv)

    nper is the number of years the $9,000 would be invested for i. e 24 years

    pmt is the periodic additional investment which is zero

    pv is the amount invested today i. e $9000

    fv is the amount of death benefit payable in 24 years' time that is $81000

    =rate (24,0,-9000,81000) = 9.59%
