Answer:

Future value= $151,018.51

Explanation:

Future value of money measures how much a present amount of money will be in the future at a given interest rate.

The interest gained on money shows the time value of money. One dollar today is less than one dollar in one year's time

The formula for future value is

Future value = Present value * (1 + rate)^time

As we have two periods in this case (10 years and 20 years)

Future value = Present value * {(1 + rate1)^time1} * {(1 + rate2)^time2}

Future value = 12,500 * {(1 + 0.07)^10} * {(1 + 0.095)^20}

Future value= $151,018.51
