Assume you lend $10.000 for a five (5) year period. The current the real rate at the time you lend the money is 2.3%. You charge no risk premium on the loan. 

At the end of the 5-years loan period you receive back your $10,000 and then decide to determine your rate of return. You collect the following information for your calculation. 

Part 1 Using the Fisher Equation, what is your expected required rate of return on the loan? 

Part 2 Using the Fisher Equation, what is your realized required rate of return on the loan?
