Understand the formula for future value (FV) when interest is compounded annually: FV = P × (1 + r)^n, where P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate (in decimal form), and n is the number of years.
Identify the values given in the problem: P = $2,000, r = 6% (convert to decimal: 0.06), and n = 1 year.
Substitute the values into the formula: FV = 2000 × (1 + 0.06)^1.
Simplify the expression inside the parentheses: (1 + 0.06) = 1.06.
Multiply the principal amount by the simplified value: FV = 2000 × 1.06. This will give the future value of the deposit after one year.
