How do you use a 365 day year to compute interest on depository accounts?

To compute interest on depository accounts using a 365-day year, you first determine the annual interest rate and then divide it by 365 to find the daily interest rate. Next, you multiply the daily interest rate by the number of days the funds are deposited to calculate the total interest earned. This method ensures accurate interest calculations, particularly for accounts with varying balances or withdrawal activity throughout the year.
