Sir please help me in this .
Since the amount is now worth $2,000, the original amount invested must be the present value of 2,000 (i.e. the amount having removed 10 years interest at 7% per year).
To calculate the present value you divide $2,000 by the 10 year discount factor at 7% as I explain in my free lectures.
