Last year Janet purchased a $1,000 face value corporate bond with a 7% annual coupon rate and a 20-year maturity. At the time of the purchase, it had an expected yield to maturity of 6.89%. If Janet sold the bond today for $1,100.22, what rate of return would she have earned for the past year? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
