  $5599.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The quarterly interest rate for the first two years was ...

  7%/4 = 0.0175

So, the multiplier each quarter for those 8 quarters was 1+0.0175 = 1.0175. At the end of the first 8 quarters, the account value had been multiplied by ...

  1.0175^8

For the next 8 quarters, the quarterly interest rate was 10%/4 = 0.025. So at the end of those 8 quarters, the balance had been multiplied by ...

  1.025^8

Then the balance at the end of 4 years was ...

  $4000(1.0175^8)(1.025^8) ≈ $5599.20

The balance was $5599.20.
