Just a little bit of help...


Annual? That was given.

Semiannual? This is twice per year, so two compounding periods.
Each period, 8%2F2=4, 4%.

Daily? If assume 365 days in the year, then the year has 365 compounding periods, and each day's rate is 8%2F365=0.0219178, or 0.021918%, or wherever to take the desired accuracy.
