**Compound Interest Calculation Exercise**

Given the scenario below, calculate the total amount of money accumulated after 5 years if $10,000 is invested at an annual interest rate of 6%, with the interest being compounded under different frequencies.

1. **Annually:**
   - Calculate the total amount when interest is compounded once per year.
   - Formula: \( A = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \)
   - Where \( A \) is the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.
   - \( P = 10,000 \) (the principal investment amount).
   - \( r = 0.06 \) (annual interest rate).
   - \( n = 1 \) (number of times interest is compounded per year).
   - \( t = 5 \) (the number of years the money is invested for).

2. **Quarterly:**
   - Calculate the total amount when interest is compounded every quarter (4 times per year).
   - Use the same formula with \( n = 4 \).

3. **Monthly:**
   - Calculate the total amount when interest is compounded every month (12 times per year).
   - Use the same formula with \( n = 12 \).

4. **Daily:**
   - Calculate the total amount when interest is compounded daily, assuming 365 days in a year.
   - Use the same formula with \( n = 365 \).

**Fill in the blanks:**

- a. Annually: $_____
- b. Quarterly: $_____
- c. Monthly: $_____
- d. Daily (assume 365 days in a year): $_____
