Let N be the number of times per year the interest is compounded and let T be in years.

$$FV=PV\left(1+\dfrac {rate}{N}\right)^{T \cdot N}$$

$$FV=4000\left(1+\dfrac{0.0575}{4}\right)^{4T}$$

$${\mathtt{4\,000}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\left({\mathtt{1}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\frac{{\mathtt{0.057\: \!5}}}{{\mathtt{4}}}}\right)}^{\left({\mathtt{4}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{5}}\right)} = {\mathtt{5\,321.459\: \!175\: \!499\: \!329\: \!081\: \!7}}$$

$${\mathtt{4\,000}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\left({\mathtt{1}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\frac{{\mathtt{0.057\: \!5}}}{{\mathtt{4}}}}\right)}^{\left({\mathtt{4}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{7}}\right)} = {\mathtt{5\,965.117\: \!902\: \!958\: \!065\: \!897\: \!6}}$$

$${\mathtt{4\,000}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\left({\mathtt{1}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\frac{{\mathtt{0.057\: \!5}}}{{\mathtt{4}}}}\right)}^{\left({\mathtt{4}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{9}}\right)} = {\mathtt{6\,686.630\: \!569\: \!302\: \!827\: \!466\: \!9}}$$

so 

5yrs -> $5321.46

7yrs -> $5965.12

9yrs -> $6686.63
