Answer:

   4.9% weekly

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is ...

  A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)

where A is the account balance that results from investing P at rate r compounded n times per year for t years.

Filling in the values for the two scenarios, we find ...

  A = 10,000(1 +0.04/365)^(365·3) ≈ 11,274.89

  A = 10,000(1 +0.049/52)^(52·3) = 11,582.74

The higher interest rate will earn Mr. Larson the most money in three years. (4.9% weekly)
