Compounded Quarterly Money borrowed today is to be paid in 6 equal payments at the end of 6 quarters. If the interest is 12% Compounded Quarterly. How much was initially borrowed if quarterly payment is $2000 Answer is $10834.38 I've tried the Compound Interest Formula: A = P(1+r/n)^nt 2000 = P(1+0.12/4)^(4*(6/4)) I am Getting P = 1674 What am I doing wrong? Any hint?

The calculation you show in your work answers a different question, namely: How much should I invest now with a one-time deposit so as to have $\$ 2000$ after six quarters?

For your stated problem, you should use the present value of annuity formula: $V=R\cdot \frac{1-(1+i)^{-n}}{i}$ where $R=\$2000$, $i=.03$, and $n=6$.
