As the interest is compounded daily, the interest  
rate per day in decimals = 0.056/360 and the  
number of days compounded will be 30*9 = 270  
days.  
Therefore, the total amount, including interest, after 9 months = $20,000*(1+0.056/360)^270 = $     20,857.82
Amount earned as interest = $20,857.82-$20,000 = $ 857.82
