Answer
Better deal: $ 9\%$ compounded monthly.
Work Step by Step
Apply the Effective Rate of Interest Theorem:
The effective rate of interest $r_{e}$ of an investment earning an annual interest rate $r$ is given by
Compounding $n$ times per year: $\displaystyle \quad r_{e}=\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{n}-1$
Continuous compounding: $\quad \quad r_{e}=e^{r}-1$
---
We compare the effective rates. The larger $r_{e}$ represents the better deal.
$ 9\%$ compounded monthly:
$ r_{e}=\displaystyle \left(1+\frac{0.09}{12}\right)^{12}-1\approx 0.093806898$
$ 8.8\%$ compounded daily:
$r_{e}=\displaystyle \left(1+\frac{0.088}{365}\right)^{365}-1\approx 0.09197654$
Better deal: $ 9\%$ compounded monthly.
