We can determine the effective annual interest rate, and plug it into our basic compounding interest formula:
Effective interest rate equals: 
(1 + (0.043÷ 4) )^4 - 1
Effective rate = 0.0437 = 4.37%

Plugging into formula; 
A = 4169*(1.0437^24)
A= 4169 * 2.79
A = 11,636.75
Investment is now worth 11,636.75
Subtract initial investment:
11,636.75 - 4169 = 7,467.75
