The formula for the future value of the account is
  A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
where you have
  A = 19909.20
  P = 8975
  r = 0.038
  t = 21

The resulting equation is not one that can be solved by algebraic means, but we can use a graphing calculator to find n. This graph shows us n = 12, so

the interest compounds monthly.
