    Present Value of the Investment is $17246.

    Explanation:

    The Discounting formula would be used to discount the future value $20,000 at the required rate of 2.5% for 6 number of years. So the formula is as under:

    Present Value = Future Value / (1+r) ^n

    By putting values, we have:

    Present Value = $20,000 / (1+2.5%) ^6 = $20000 / 1.120 = $17246

    Dawson must invest now $17246 to receive $20000 after 6 number of years.
