Mr. Sansome withdrew $1000 from a savings account and invested it in common stock. At the end of 5 years, he sold the stock and received a check for $1307. If Mr. Sansome had left his $1000 in the savings account, he would have received an interest rate of 5%, compounded quarterly. Mr. Sansome would like to compute a comparable interest rate on his common stock investment. Based on quarterly compounding, what nominal annual interest rate did Mr. Sansome receive on his investment in stock?

Investment was made a year ago and return was obtained a year from now so it means 2 successive years
.i.e. T=2 years
• Assuming it to be compounded annually from 90$To 110$
