To find the initial value (the amount in the bank account at year 0), we can examine the amounts provided in the table. The amounts appear to increase by $80 each year.

Starting with the value at year 1:

  • Year 1: $1,080
  • Year 0 (initial value) = Year 1 amount - Increase = $1,080 - $80 = $1,000

So, the initial value in the bank account is $1,000.
