    a daily compounded rate of 0.055 %

    Explanation:

    we multiply by the suberiodic capitalization and compare each other

    Daily compounding

    APR = 0.055 x 365 = 20.075%

    Effective rate:

    (1+0.00055) ^365 - 1 = 0.222251701 = 22.22%

    Weekly compounding:

    APR 0.355 x 52 = 18.46%

    Effective rate

    (1 + 0.355) ^52 - 1 = 0.202344149 = 20.23%

    Montly Compounding

    APR = 1.25 x 12 = 15%

    effective rate

    (1 + 0.0125) ^ 12 - 1 = 0.160754518

    Quarterly compounding

    APR 4.5 x 4 = 18%

    Semiannually compounding

    APR 8.5 x 2 = 17%

    annual APR 18%

    The best option would be the daily compounding of 20.075%
