6) Rust Bucket Motor Credit Corporation (RBMCC), a subsidiary of Rust Bucket Motor, offered some securities for sale to the public on March 28, 2008. Under the terms of the deal, RBMCC promised to repay the owner of one of these securities $100,000 on March 28, 2039, but investors would receive nothing until then. Investors paid RBMCC $24,299 for each of these securities; so they gave up $24,299 on March 28, 2008, for the promise of a $100,000 payment 31 years later.
Suppose that, on March 28, 2018, this security's price is $42,580. If an investor had purchased it for $24,299 at the offering and sold it on this day, what annual rate of return would she have earned?
