------
A(1) = 1000(1 + (0.02/4))^(4*1)
----
A(1) = 1000(1.005)^4
----
A(1) = 1000*1.02015
-------
A(1) = $1020.15

The Future Value of your investment would be:
FV=+C%281%2B%28r%2Fn%29%29%5E%28tn%29where:
C= your present Capital, the amount you invest. In your case 1000.
r= annual rate
n= number of periods, in your case 4 compounding periods per year (quarterly)
t= is the time, in your case 1 year. Using your numbers:
FV=+1000%281%2B%28.02%2F4%29%29%5E1%284%29=+1020.15
