Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the formula for future value (FV) when interest is compounded annually: \( FV = PV \times (1 + r)^n \), where PV is the present value, r is the annual interest rate (in decimal form), and n is the number of years.
Identify the values given in the problem: Present Value (PV) = \$2, annual interest rate (r) = 5\% or 0.05, and the number of years (n) = 3.
Substitute the values into the formula: \( FV = 2 \times (1 + 0.05)^3 \).
Simplify the expression inside the parentheses: \( 1 + 0.05 = 1.05 \), then raise it to the power of 3: \( 1.05^3 \).
Multiply the result of \( 1.05^3 \) by the present value (PV = \$2) to calculate the future value (FV).
