Compound Interest:

P: the principal, amount invested =1000

A: the new balance (we need to calculate A)

t: the time = 2 years

r: the rate, (in decimal form) 8 %

n: the number of times it is compounded per year. 4 times

Principle 1000
Annual Interest Rate 8%
Compound Period Per Year 4
Years (converting 2 years 7 months to years) 2.583
Amount Earned as per formula given above 1171.659
Formula Used = 1000*(1+0.08/4)^(4*2.583)=1227.035

You can calcute the above value in excel also using the formula provided above.
