    Present value = $1,780.20

    Future value = $2,385.64

    Explanation:

    Years Annual cash flows Discount factor @5% Present value

    1 $200.00 0.9523809524 $190.48

    2 $200.00 0.9070294785 $181.41

    3 $200.00 0.8638375985 $172.77

    4 $300.00 0.8227024748 $246.81

    5 $500.00 0.7835261665 $391.76

    6 $800.00 0.7462153966 $596.97

    Present value $1,780.20

    Now the future value is

    Future value = Present value * (1 + interest rate) ^number of years

    = $1,780.20 * (1 + 0.05) ^6

    = $1,780.20 * 1.3400956406

    = $2,385.64
