B) $17,704.05

Step-by-step explanation:

20 years later is a time in the future so you use Future value formula;

FV = PV * (1+r) ^t

where PV = Amount invested in the present = $6,540

r = discount rate = (5% / 6) = 0.833% or 0.00833

t = total duration = 20 * 6 = 120

Next, plug in the numbers into the formula;

=6,540 * (1+0.00833) ^120

=6,540 * 2.707041491

= 17,704.05
