    The security worth $5,615 today

    Explanation:

    Amount of Security = $6,750

    Annual rate of return = 3.75%

    number of years = 5 years

    Future value = Present Value x (1 + rate of return) ^number of years

    Present Value = Future value / (1 + rate of return) ^number of year

    Present Value = $6,750 / (1 + 3.75%) ^5

    Present Value = $6,750 / (1 + 0.0375) ^5

    Present Value = $6,750 / (1.0375) ^5

    Present Value = $6,750 / 1.2021

    Present Value = $5,615.17

    Present Value of security is $5,615
