    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Two 10-year annuities:

    Annuity C: $2,500 per year for 10 years.

    Annuity D: $2,200 per year for 10 years.

    To find the future value we need to use the following formula:

    FV=PV * (1+i) ^n

    PV: Present value

    i = interest rate

    A)

    1.

    Annuity C = 2500 * (1,10^10) = $6484.36

    Annuity D = 2200 * (1.10^10) = $5706.23

    2.

    Annuity C = 2500 * (1,20^10) = $15479.34

    Annuity D = 2200 * (1.20^10) = $13621.82

    B) Annuity C presents a greater future value in both cases because it presents a bigger present value.
