I assume that means 3.5% annual interest.


Each quarter we multiply our money by [tex]1 + \dfrac{0.035}{4}[/tex]


Eight years is 32 quarters.


So after eight years we have


[tex]A = 4000\left( 1 + \dfrac{0.035}{4} \right)^{32} = \$5286.08[/tex]


That's compared to $5120, principal plus simple interest of just 8(3.5%)=28% of 4000.


Answer: $5286.08
