You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Find Amount
Principal P = 10,000
Amount= A
years=n =1
compounded 4 times a year
Rate = 6.00
Amount = P*((n+r)/n)^nt

Amount =10000*(1+0.02)^ 1*4
Amount = 10000 *(1+0.02)^4
=10000 *(1.02)^4
Amount =10613.64

        The solution in the post by @manant is presented incorrectly/inaccurately.
        I came to bring a correct/accurate solution in the form as it SHOULD be presented.


Principal P = 10,000
Amount = A
years = 1
compounded 4 times a year
Rate = 6% = 0.06.

Amount = P%2A%281%2B0.06%2F4%29%5E4 = 10000%2A%281.015%29%5E4 = 10613.64.     ANSWER

Solved.
