        85.503075=127.015881/(1+r)to the power of 4

        Answer is r=0.1040

        How did they get to that answer from the above equation?

          Honestly, I’m not sure if you’re trolling at this point – your questions are a matter of working through the algebraic calculations. Anyways in the spirit of good community spirit:

          85.503075 = 127.015881 / [(1 + r)]^4

          [(1 + r)]^4 = 127.015881 / 85.503075

          [(1 + r)]^4 = 1.48551243332

          (1 + r) = (1.48551243332)^(1/4)

          (1 + r) = (1.48551243332)^(1/4)

          1 + r = 1.104

          r = 1.104 – 1

          r = 0.104
