The operation create inserts a new bank account at a branch. The transactions T and U are defined as follows:

T: aBranch.create("Z");
U: z.deposit(10); z.deposit(20).

Assume that Z does not yet exist. Assume also that the deposit operation does nothing if the account given as argument does not exist. Consider the following interleaving of transactions T and U:

State the balance of Z after their execution in this order. Are these consistent with serially equivalent executions of T and U?
