    True

    Explanation:

    future value of an annuity = payment x {[ (1 + r) ⁿ - 1] / r}

    future value with compound interest = present value x (1 + r) ⁿ

    by age 65 Beth will have:

    FV at 34 = $2,500 x {[ (1 + 5%) ¹⁰ - 1] / 5%} = $2,500 x 12.5779 = $31,445

    FV at 65 = $31,445 x (1 + 5%) ³¹ = $142,699

    by age 65 Bill will have:

    FV at 65 = $2,500 x {[ (1 + 5%) ³⁰ - 1] / 5%} = $2,500 x 66.4388 = $166,097
