To evaluate the expression, we follow the order of operations: parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), and addition and subtraction (from left to right).

First, we calculate the exponent: 2^3 = 2 * 2 * 2 = 8.

Now, we substitute the exponent result back into the expression: (8/2) + 8 - 5.

Next, we solve the division: 8/2 = 4.

Our new expression is: 4 + 8 - 5.

Finally, we perform the addition and subtraction from left to right: 4 + 8 = 12, then 12 - 5 = 7.

The final value of the expression is 7.
