To get the accumulated value of an investment of $2,000\textcolor{#c34632}{\$2,000} for 5 years\textcolor{#c34632}{5 \ \text{years}} years at an interest rate of 3%\textcolor{#c34632}{3\%} compounded daily, we will use this formula:

A=P(1+APRn)nY\begin{aligned} A = P \left ( 1 + \dfrac{APR}{n} \right )^{nY} \end{aligned}

where AA is the accumulated balance after YY years, PP is the starting principal, APRAPR is the annual percentage rate in decimal form, nn is the compounding periods per year, and YY is the time in years.
