Answer
${{\$}} 860.72 $
Work Step by Step
Apply the Present Value Formulas Theorem
The present value $P$
of $A$ dollars to be received
after $t$ years,
assuming a per annum interest rate $r$
compounded $n$ times per year,
is $P=A\displaystyle \cdot\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{-nt}$
If the interest is compounded continuously, then $P=Ae^{-rt}$
---
Compounding: $n=365$ times per year,
$A=1000, t=2.5, nt=912.5, r=0.06.$
$P=1000\displaystyle \cdot\left(1+\frac{0.06}{365}\right)^{-912.5}\approx{{\$}} 860.72 $
