Question

Find the interest rate needed for the sinking fund to reach the required amount. Assume that the compounding period is the same as the payment period. (Note. A sinking fund is an account created to fund a future expense. It's like a savings account) $15,941 to be accumulated in 3 years; quarterly payments of $1225 The interest rate needed is approximately \boxed{} %. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)
