Suppose you bought a bond with an annual coupon rate of 5.04 percent one year ago for $1,038. The bond sells for $1,076 today. Assuming a $1,000 face value, what was your total nominal rate of return on this investment over the past year? Write your answer in percentage form, and round your answer to 2 decimal places. For example, put 9.29, not 0.93.

Suppose you bought a bond with an annual coupon rate of 5.9 percent one year ago for $1,008. The bond sells for $1,074 today. Assume a $1,000 face value. If the inflation rate last year was 4.79 percent, what was your total realrate of return on this investment? Write your answer in percentage form, and round your answer to 2 decimal places. For example, put 9.29, not 0.93
