P = Po(1+r)^n.

Po = $500, r = (4%/4)/100% = 0.01
= Quarterly % rate expressed as a deci8mal.

n = 4Comp./yr. * 6yrs = 24 Compounding periods.

P = ?.

conert 4% to decimal= .04
quarterly= 4 so the problem would go
a=p(1+r/n)^nt
a=500(1+.04/4)^4x6
500(1.01)^24
500(1.26973)
634.865 but round to 634.87 :)

answer: 634.87
