Use the compound interest formula.
A = P*(1 +r/n)^(n*t)
where P is the principal, r is the annual rate, n is the number of compoundings per year, and t is the number of years.
For the first investment, ...
A = 208,000*(1 +.08/4)^(4*5) = 309,077.06
For the second investment, ...
A = 218,000*(1 +.07/2)^(2*4) = 287,064.37
