Suppose the government decides to issue a new savings bond that is guaranteed to double in value if you hold it for 20 years. assume you purchase a bond that costs $25. a. what is the exact rate of return you would earn if you held the bond for 20 years until it doubled in value?

(do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. in 2027, instead of cashing in the bond for its then current value, you decide to hold the bond until it doubles in face value in 2037. what annual rate of return will you earn over the last 10 years?
