In the event that it really was 5% daily, you would earn nearly 2.5*1041. By way of comparison, the current value of the total world output is less than 100 trillion USD or 1014 USD. So, it would be worth the total world output for 2.5 octillion years. Somehow I don't think so.
However, when banks say 5% compounded daily what they are really saying is the daily equivalent of 5% per year - that is to say 0.0149% daily - but compounded (added to your capital) on a daily basis.
It terms of the calculations, then it is the same as 5% for 5 years. And that is 138.14 units of currency.

With compounded interest, it would be 100*(1 + 11/100)10 = 283.94
If every six months the capital earn 10% interest which is compounded, at the end of 5 years, the interest will be 31875. If the annual interest rate is 10%, it makes no difference how often it is compounded. The six monthly interest rate is adjusted - to 4.88% rather than 5% - so that the total interest for a year is 10%.
4.75 percent of 900 is 42.75 . A few pennies more if the interest is compounded at any time during the year. For example, if interest is compounded every month, then you have 43.69 at the end of the year.
