In future please say which exam the question comes from (I can't remember the name of every question in ever exam :-) ) The government yield rate is 2.5% per the question. Note (v) says that the normal borrowing rate is 150 basis points higher, so is 2.5% + 1.5% = 4%. The subsidised loan scheme lends money at 100 basis points less than the government debt yield rate, which is 2.5% - 1% = 1.5%. The subsidy benefit is therefore 4% - 1.5% = 2.5%
