Use the formula I = P(1 + r/4)^4, where P = 15,000 and r = 0.0485.
Plug into formula and simplify using your calculator.
We are searching for I or interest.
I = 15,000(1 + 0.0485/4)^4
Can you do it now?
NOTE: The number 4 represents interest every 4 months since this is a quarterly compounding question.
