9500 = 227.5( 1 - (1+r)^-60)/r
where r is the monthly rate
a very tough equation to solve ....
Wolfram says r = .01275 as the monthly rate
so annual rate compounded monthly = .153
or 15.3 %
equivalent annual rate:
1+i = 1.01275^12 = 1.164
or 16.4%

look at second line output, the negative rates are to be ignored.
