First, we calculate the future value of the quarterly payments after 4 years (January 2004 - December 2007). Then, we calculate the future value of that single amount after 3 years (December 2007 - December 2010):

 

FV = P * ((1 + r / n) tn - 1) / (r / n)

FV = 300 * ((1 + .08 / 4) 4 * 4 - 1) / (.08 / 4)

FV = 300 * (1.02 16 - 1) / .02

FV = 300 * 18.63929

FV = 5,591.79

 

FV = PV * (1 + r / n) tn

FV = 5591.79 * 1.02 3 * 4

FV = 5591.79 * 1.02 12

FV = 5591.79 * 1.268242

FV = 7,091.74
