Question:
Find the amount that results from the given investment.
$200.00 invested at 6% compounded quarterly after a period of 4 years

Solution:
Principal, P=$200
APR=6%
interest per period (quarter), i=0.06/4=0.015
number of periods, n=4*4=16

Future value (accumulated amount)
=P(1+i)^n
=200*(1+0.015)^16
=200*(1.26899)
=$253.80
