You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.
