To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for compound interest, which is A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt). Here, A is the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest. P is the principal amount (the initial amount of money), r is the annual interest rate (in decimal), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year, and t is the time the money is invested for in years.

First, we calculate the amount after 13 years with an annual interest rate of 3.7%. Since the interest is compounded annually, n = 1.

A = $20,000 * (1 + 0.037/1)^(1*13) =$29,812.56

Next, we calculate the amount after the next 16 years with an annual interest rate of 3.1%. This time, the principal amount is the amount we got after 13 years.

A = $29,812.56 * (1 + 0.031/1)^(1*16) =$47,699.79

So, the correct answer is $47,699.79.

To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for compound interest, which is A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt). Here, A is the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest. P is the principal amount (the initial amount of money), r is the annual interest rate (in decimal), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year, and t is the time the money is invested for in years.

First, we calculate the amount after 13 years with an annual rate of 3.7 percent. Here, P = $20,000, r = 3.7/100 = 0.037 (we divide by 100 to convert the percentage into a decimal), n = 1 (since the interest is compounded annually), and t = 13 years.

A = $20,000(1 + 0.037/1)^(1*13) =$31,536.14

Next, we calculate the amount after the next 16 years with an annual rate of 3.1 percent. Now, the principal amount P is the amount we got after 13 years, which is $31,536.14. The annual interest rate r = 3.1/100 = 0.031, n = 1, and t = 16 years.

A = $31,536.14(1 + 0.031/1)^(1*16) =$52,274.81

So, the correct answer is $52,274.81.
