The first formula you listed is not written correctly. You forgot the exponent nt. Correctly written it should be: A=P(1+r/n)^nt, where P=initial investment, r=annual interest rate, n= times compounded per year, t=years, and A=amt accumulated after t years. This is the formula I will use.
..
A=1500(1+.08/4)^4*5
A=1500(1.02)^20
A=$2228.92
ans:
The balance after 5 years for $1500 invested at 8% compounded quarterly=$2228.92
