Hi Bartleby Expert,
I'm struggling a bit with real returns, and i was hoping to receive a bit of assistance!

The given information is as follows:

Assume Peter receives the amount needed for the construction on January 1st 2022. All the bonds that Peter issues carry an annual interest rate (or yield) of 1.7%

The question:
What are the expected real returns on both of the green funds?
