$6000 invested for 5 years at 7% compound interest. Find the final amound on deposit if the interest is compounded quarterly.
--------------
A=P(1+r/n)^(nt)
n is the number of times you compound each year; t is the # of yrs.;
r is the yearly rate; P is the principal or amount you deposit.
A=6000(1+0.07/1)^(1*5)
A=6000(1.07)^5
A=6000(1.40...)
A=$8415.31

r is the interest rate for one time period and n is the number of time periods. In this case compounding takes place quarterly so the interest rate is 7/4 % (=1.75%) per quarter and there are 20 time periods in 5 years.

=$8488.67
