$988

Step-by-step explanation:

$100\%-14\%=86\%=0.86\\\\0.86\cdot\$2,100-\text{after the first year}\\0.86\cdot(0.86\cdot\$2,100)=0.86^2\cdot\$2,100-\text{after the second year}\\0.86\cdot(0.86^2\cdot\$2,100)=0.86^3\cdot\$2,100-\text{after the third year}\\\vdots\\0.86^5\cdot\$2,100\approx\$988-\text{after the fifth year}$
