The only way to solve this equation is with trial and error. Because of technological advance we can do it using excel goal seek.

we write the formula for the PV of an ordinary annuity

and the formula for a lump sum

below them we add them both together

then we define a cell for the rate

and we determinate that we want the cell which contain the sum to match 1,050 changing the rate cell

this will give us an IRR of 0.10749 = 10.75%
