Answer:

b) 12.21%

Explanation:

The computation of the quoted annual rate of return is shown below:

Given that

Future value = $1,000 × 108% = $1,080

Present value = $868

NPER = 6 years

PMT = $1,000 × 8% = $80

The formula is shown below:

= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)

The present value comes in negative

After applying the above formula, the annual rate of return is 12.21%

Therefore the correct option is b.
