Let's go through this problem step by step:

### Part 1: Value of the investment in 2019

The original value of the investment is \( 1,880,952 \) dollars, and the investment decreases by 5.9% in 2019.

To find the value after the decrease:
\[
\text{Decrease amount} = 1,880,952 \times 0.059 = 110,973.768
\]
\[
\text{Value in 2019} = 1,880,952 - 110,973.768 = 1,769,978.232
\]

The value of the investment in 2019 is approximately **1,769,975.832 dollars** (as shown in the box).

### Part 2: Final value in 2020

In 2020, the value increases by 5.9%. Now, we apply the increase to the value from 2019:
\[
\text{Increase amount} = 1,769,975.832 \times 0.059 = 104,429.575
\]
\[
\text{Value in 2020} = 1,769,975.832 + 104,429.575 = 1,874,405.407
\]

So, the final value of the investment in 2020 is approximately **1,874,405.407 dollars**.

### Related Questions:
1. How would the result change if the percentages were compounded instead of added separately for each year?
2. What would happen if the investment had increased by a different percentage in 2020?
3. How would you calculate the overall percentage change over the two years?
4. What if the investment value had decreased by a larger percentage in 2019?
5. How can you express this change using a formula?

### Tip:
When calculating percentage increases or decreases, always use the formula: 
\[
\text{New Value} = \text{Original Value} \times (1 \pm \text{Percentage Change}).
\]

Suppose the investment's value decreases by 5.9% in 2019, and then increases by 5.9% in 2020.
