quarterly means four compounding periods per year
... each at a quarter of the full interest rate
a = 5000 [1 + (.04 / 4)]^(10 * 4)
... each at a quarter of the full interest rate
a = 5000 [1 + (.04 / 4)]^(10 * 4)

P = Po(1+R)^n,
R = 0.04/4 = 0.01 = quarterly % rate expressed as a decimal.
n = 10yrs * 4comp./yr. = 40 compounding periods.
P = 5000(1+0.01)^40 = $7444.32.
