Question

Anthony is deciding between different savings accounts at his bank. He has four options, based on how frequently interest compounds. Which should he choose if he wants the best rate of return on his interest?

Answer 1

So annual compounding means that the account is compound once a year, semi-annual is 2 times a year, monthly compounded is every month (so 12 times a year). and daily is every day (so 365 times a year). If he wants the best rate of return on his interest, or the most money, he should choose daily compounding because his funds are being compounded every day.
