FV = final value
PV = present value (in this case it's 480)
r = interest (here it's 16%)
n = number of periods in a year (your problem says 4. Well, it says quarterly and there are 1/4+1/4+1/4+1/4= 4/4 four quarters)
t = time, the number of years
---------------------------
FV= PV(1+r/n)^n*t
FV= 480(1+0.16/4)^4*4
FV= 480(1.04)^16
FV= 480(1.87)
FV= 897.60 is your final value, the amount you will have after 4 years.
