Finding an interest rate.?


An investment requires an upfront payment fo $14500. In return, it promises to pay $1500 per year for 6 years followed by $2000 per year for 8 years. Payments will occur at the end of each year. What rate is implied by this investment?

I know the answer (7.64%) i just don't know how to set up the problem. Help!

The formula to use is: 14500 = sum over the years (cash flow/ (1+r)^k)
where r is the interest rate and k the number of the year.
One has to find r by trial and error. The quickest way to do this, is with a spreadsheet.
