Enter 8000 as PV. Enter 7 as N. Enter 10,000/7 (1428.57) as PMT. CPT %i.
This will give you the monthly nominal rate. To convert to your effective
annnual rate: divide by 100, add 1 and raise to the 12th power. You should get
D.

I have not been able to arrive at one of the choices
given for the particular question below. Further, a note indicated
that this question could be worked using calculator annuity keys.

paid in full. She made the following deal with her greedy mother:

for 7 equal monthly payments at the end of each month totaling to
$10,000.

mother?
