210 0.95                          199.50
100 0.01                               1.00
0 0.04                                   -  
Amount expected to be received after one year                          200.50
Interest amount (200.50-200) 0.5
Expected Return (0.50/200)*100 0.25%

.

220 0.95                             209.00
100 0.01                                  1.00
0 0.04                                      -  
Amount expected to be received after one year                             210.00
Interest amount (210-200) 10
Expected Return (10/200)*100 5%

.

To an earn an expected return of 5% , we have recover $220 at the end of year.

So , promised rate of return that we should charge = (220-200)/200 * 100

= 20/200 * 100

= 10%
