Which one of the following will increase the future value of a stream of unequal payments for a ten year project? The rate of return is positive. Answer is D.

Option A is incorrect because Delaying some cash inflows from years 1 and 2 until year 9 will result in giving less time for compounding
Option B is incorrect because Lowering the discount rate applicable to all ten years will decrease the future value
Option C is incorrect because Increasing the initial cash outflow to start the project will decrease the future value because the cash outflow is negative
Option E is incorrect because Lowering the effective annual rate applicable to the project will decrease the future value
