a good return number on retirement account
is what?

It is dependent on goals and relative risk.

For example, if one is retired and using the account for income production, a low-risk 9.77% return would be fine. OTOH if one is younger and trying to grow the account with a heavy proportion of securities, 9.77% is underperforming the market.
