13% daily is worse than any loan shark!
Suppose it takes n days, then
38500 = 19000*(1 + 13/100)n= 19000*(1.13)n
So 38500/19000 = 1.13n
ln(38500/19000) = n*ln(1.13)
so that n = ln(38500/19000) / ln(1.13) = 5.78
So 6 days.

At 8% per month, compounded, it will take just 1.2 years. However, with monthly interest such that its annual compounded equivalent is 8% (roughly 0.64% each month), it will take 14.27 years.
If compounded, interest = 81.244 and balance = 456.245 If not compounded, interest = 75 and balance = 450
We still need to know how often the interest is compounded ... Weekly ? Daily ? Hourly ? What does "continuous" mean ?
If the interest is simple interest, then the value at the end of 5 years is 1.3 times the initial investment. If the interest is compounded annually, then the value at the end of 5 years is 1.3382 times the initial investment. If the interest is compounded monthly, then the value at the end of 5 years is 1.3489 times the initial investment.
It depends how the interest is calculated. If it's compounded, your initial 500 investment would be worth 638.15 after 5 years.

At 8% per month, compounded, it will take just 1.2 years. However, with monthly interest such that its annual compounded equivalent is 8% (roughly 0.64% each month), it will take 14.27 years.
If the interest is compounded annually, then the first interest payment isn't added until the end of the first year. Until then, the investment is worth exactly $15,000.00 .
Total value = 20000*(1.06)2 = 22472 So interest = 2472
If compounded, interest = 81.244 and balance = 456.245 If not compounded, interest = 75 and balance = 450
