    This is a present value question.

    PV= FV/(1+i)^n

    PV= 2500/(1+.05)^3

    PV=$2,159.59

    This is a very very basic question.

    Depends on your investment return. If you could earn only 3%, it would be worth, $2,287.85. In contrast if you could get 12%, it would be worth $1,779.45.

    3% $2,287.85

    12% $1,779.45

    Lets assume you achieve an 8% rate of return (which is a realistic average for a portfolio with 70-80% stocks), your $2,500 in three years is worth $1,984.58.

    8% $1,984.58
