    1)

    A has a greater principal

    2)

    Principal of A is $500, the principal of B is $400, so A's principal is greater by $100

    3)

    Annual interest rate of A:

    10/500 x 100

    interest rate of A = 2%

    The interest rate of B is higher.

    4)

    B's annual interest rate is 5% and A's annual interest rate is 2%, so B's is higher by 3%.
