An investor will be investing 2,500 in year 1, not taking any return for 5
years, but at the end of year 6 wants a payment so that his IRR upon
receiving that payment will equal 25%. Help!

I can use goal seek to determine the number, but what I need is a tool that
will change that answer as I change the variables, e.g. the amount of the
original investment.

If I understand you correctly, you simply want
the future value (FV) a 6-year investment of
$2500 at 25% per year.

=FV(25%,6,,-2500)

Yes, that is exactly what I need. Thank you.
