The compound interest formula is:  A  = P(1 + r/n)^(n·t)

where          A = final amount          P = amount invested = 100.00        r = rate (as a decimal) = .0217

                   n = number of times compounded per year = 365          t = number of years = 2

 

Substituting:  A  =  100.00(1 + .0217/365)^(365·2)     --->     A  =  104.44

[I use a dot '.' where you use a comma ','.]
