The post does not say if the sum of $1200.00 was deposited only once or is deposited every quarter.


So, by default, I will assume that the starting amount was deposited only once.


Then the solution is as follows:


1200%2A%281%2B0.065%2F4%29%5E%284%2A6%29 = 1200%2A%281%2B0.065%2F4%29%5E24 = 1766.83.

If your problem assumes differently, then edit your post correspondingly and re-submit it.
