You can do the calculations.

You need two formulas....

(1) periodic compounding:

A+=+%28P%28%281%2B%28r%2Fn%29%29%5E%28n%2At%29-1%29%29%2F%28r%2Fn%29

A = amount (future value)
P = principal ($1000)
r = (annual) interest rate (4% = .04)
t = time (years) (3)
n = number of compounding periods per year (different cases: 1, 2, 4, 12, and 365)

(2) continuous compounding:

A+=+P%2Ae%5E%28r%2At%29
