    Explanation:

    In the exercise you have to apply the equation of compound interest rate to the two scenarios or options that give the exercise to determine which options is greater.

    Future Value = Amount o money * (1 + interest rate) ^ (n)

    Option (A) = $50 * ((1+5%) ^ (5))

    Option (A) = $63,81

    Option (B) = $25 * ((1+5%) ^ (5))
