  a) one year.
  b) five years.

Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

a) At a rate of interest of 10 per annum, future value of 10,000 after a year is: 11,000. Hence, time value of money is: 11,000 - 10,000 = 1,000.
At a rate of interest of 15 per annum, future value of 10,000 after a year is: 11,500. Hence, time value of money is: 11,500 - 10,000 = 1,500.

b) At a rate of interest of 10 per annum, future value of 10,000 after five years is: 16,105.1. Hence, time value of money is: 16,105.1 - 10,000 =  6,105.1.
At a rate of interest of 15 per annum, future value of 10,000 after five years is: 20,113.57. Hence, time value of money is: 20,113.57 - 10,000 = 10,113.57.
