    The rate of return that would the project attractive is 6.88% to two decimal places

    Explanation:

    In determining, the rate of interest the project is attractive, the formula for Future Value would be used, as the project is least attractive if return is ether zero or greater than zero, hence positive rate of return

    FV=PV * (1+r) ^N

    PV is the present value of $160,000

    FV is the future value of $171000

    N is the number of year which is 1

    r is rate of return that is unknown

    171000=160000 * (1+r) ^1

    171000/160000=1+r

    r = (171000/160000) - 1

    r=1.06875 - 1

    r=0.06875

    The interest rate in dollar terms is $11,000 ($171000-$160000)

    r=6.88%
