    She Should Invest $3,815 now.

    Explanation:

    Future value is the accumulated value of principal and compounded interest earned in specific period on an specific return rate applied to present value. It is calculated by following formula:

    FV = PV x (1 + r) ^n

    FV = Future Value = $5000

    PV = Present Value = ?

    r = return rate = 7%

    n = number of years = 4 years

    $5000 = PV (1 + 7%) ^4

    $5000 = PV (1 + 0.07) ^4

    $5000 = PV (1.07) ^4

    $5000 = PV x 1.311

    PV = $5,000 / 1.311

    PV = $3,815
