    The value of the initial investment was $15749

    Explanation:

    $20100 times the present value of a 5-year, 8% ordinary annuity of 1.

    The present value at the year zero can be found using the discounting formula which is as under:

    Present value = Future Value / (1+r) ^n

    Here n is 5 years, r is 5% and the future value is $20100.

    By putting the values in the formula:

    Present Value = $20100 / (1+5%) ^5 years = $15749
