    Amount in savings account after 7 and a half years is $8,113.62

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Quarterly payments made in savings account (pmt) = $200

    Annual interest rate = 8%

    Quarter interest rate (rate) = 8:4 = 2%

    Compounding period (nper) = 7 and a half years or 7.5*4 = 30 quarterly payments

    This is an annuity as uniform amount of $200 is deposited every quarter.

    Savings at the end of seven and a half years mean future value of annuity.

    Future value of annuity can be computed using spreadsheet function = FV (rate, nper, pmt, PV)

    Savings account will have $8113.62 at the end of seven and a half years.
