Do it like this one:
===========================================
A savings account earns 4% annual interest compounded quarterly. How much interest would $500 earn if it was invested for one year?
----------------
1 yr = 4 quarters
4%/yer = 1% per quarter
FV = PV*(1.01)^4
FV = 500*(1.01)^4 = $520.30
Interest = $20.30
