Totally lost on this one. What is the effective annual interest rate of an investment that pays 5.0% annual interest, compounded daily, assuming a 365-day year?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(1+0.05/365)^365 -1 = effective interest rate, slightly more than 5%

These are the options I'm given, For some reason when I use the calculator I'm getting .05126 A) 5.04% B) 5.13% C) 5.85% D) 5.97%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.05126 = 5.13% when rounded to three digits.
