Although appealing to more refined tastes, art as a collectible has not always performed so profitably. During 2003, Sotheby's sold the Edgar Degas bronze sculpture Petite Danseuse de Quatorze Ans at auction for a price of $10,331,500. Unfortunately for the previous owner, he had purchased it in 2000 at a price of $12,417,500. What was his annual rate of return on this sculpture?

-5.95% FV = PV(1 + r)^t Solving for r, we get: r = (FV/PV)^(1/t) - 1r = ($10,331,500/ $12,417,500)^(1/3) - 1r = −.0595, or -5.95% Notice that the interest rate is negative. This occurs when the FV is less than the PV.

30.79 years FV = PV(1 + r)^t Solving for t, we get: t = ln(FV/PV)/ln(1 + r)t = ln ($190,000/$49,000)/ln 1.045 t = 30.79 years

According to the Census Bureau, in October 2016, the average house price in the United States was $27,858. 7 years earlier, the average price was $21,008. What was the annual increase in the price of the average house sold?

4.11% (FV = PV(1 + r)^t Solving for r, we get: r = (FV/PV)^(1/t) − 1r = ($27,858/$21,008)^(1/7) − 1 r = .0411, or 4.11%)

8.34% (FV = PV(1 + r)^t Solving for r, we get: r = (FV/PV)^(1/t) - 1r = ($300,000/$71,000)^(1/18) - 1r = .0834, or 8.34%)
