You will earn more over the year by investing in the five-year bond as long as its yield does not rise above what level? (Assume $1 face value bond.) Hint: It is best not to round intermediate calculations-make sure to carry at least four decimal places in intermediate calculations. Note: Assume annual compounding. The yield should not rise above %. (Round to two decimal places.)
