Problem 5-11 Yield to Call and Realized Rates of Return

Eight years ago, Goodwynn & Wolf Incorporated sold a 29-year bond issue with a 9% annual coupon rate and a 6% call premium. Today, G&W called the bonds.

Compute the realized rate of return for investors who purchased the bonds when they were issued and who surrender them today in exchange for the call price. Round your answer to two decimal places.
