Joan's bond receivable has earned a 15.49% rate of return for the past year.

Data and Calculations:

Face value of the corporate bond = $1,000

Annual coupon rate = 11%

Maturity period = 25 years

Expected yield too maturity (YTM) = 11.96%

Current bond's price = $1,154.91

The rate of return earned since last year = 15.49% {($1,154.91 - $1,000)/$1,000}.

Thus, Joan's bond receivable has earned a 15.49% rate of return for the past year.
