This is P=Po(1+0.12/365)^1825, divide interest by compoundings and raise to the number of compoundings, rounding at the end.
$5465.82
check with annual compounding, which will be less but in the range. It is $5287.03

===========
I'll do monthly compounding.
5 years = 60 months
---------
12%/year = 1%/month
--
FV = PV*(1 + 0.01)^60
FV = 3000*1.01^60
FV = 5450.09
==============================
You do the daily compounding.
