Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason to choose between an alternative from a savings account with interest compounded semi-annually or a savings account with compounded daily interest.

Introduction:

Compound Interest: The compound interest refers to the accumulated interest which is paid out for a given sum. To calculate the compound interest, the interest for a year is again added in the principal amount and hence the accumulated interest is given after the time period. So, the compound interest is called as interest on interest.
