You bought one of Mastadon Manufacturing Co.’s 7.2 percent coupon bonds one year ago for $1,043. These bonds make annual payments, mature ten years from now, and have a par value of $1,000. Suppose you decide to sell your bonds today, when the required return on the bonds is 6 percent. If the inflation rate was 3.6 percent over the past year, what would be your total real return on the investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
