If you were trying to "cut and paste" it usually won't work here. You will need to type out all the possibilities.

The payments are $95 in year 1, 2 and 3 and $150 in year 3.5.
The purchase price is $500.
500 = 95/(1+rate) + 95/(1+rate)^2 + 95/(1+rate)^3 + 150/(1+rate)^3.5
Solving for rate, the rate comes to -4.98%.
