Although appealing to more refined tastes, art as a collectible has not always performed so profitably. During 2003, Sotheby’s sold the Edgar Degas bronze sculpture Petite Danseuse de Quatorze Ans at auction for a price of $9.12 million. Unfortunately for the previous owner, he had purchased it in 1999 at a price of $12.63 million.
 What was his annual rate of return on this sculpture? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
