Each quarter, the capital increases by a factor of (1 + 7.5/4), so in 32 quarters, the capital will increase by a factor of (1 + 7.5/4)^32. Calculate this factor, then divide the final amount by this factor.

Except that's 7.5 percent. Each quarter, the investment will increase by 1.01875

1.01875^32 is about 1.812

19000/1.812 is about $10485.65
