Last year Janet purchased a $$1,000$ face value corporate bond with a $7\%$ annual coupon rate and a $10-$year maturity. At the time of the purchase, it had an expected yield to maturity of $8\mathrm{.}98\%.$ If Janet sold the bond today for $$973\mathrm{.}76,$ what rate of return would she have earned for the past year? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
