For purposes of compensation, an actuary working for a lawyer estimates the annual earnings of a September 11 victim that died at the Twin Towers at age 32. The victim was making $95,000 a year and a stream of payments for that amount would have likely accrued to her annually until retirement at age 65. The actuary knows that this is an ordinary annuity problem. He assumes, as is usual, that the victim's salary would grow in tandem with inflation, which for years has hovered at around 3% annually. What is the future value of this annuity, the minimum basis for a possible settlement with the relatives of the victim, if a fair settlement were indeed on the table?

- A brilliant young scientist is killed in a plane crash. It is anticipated that he could have earned $250,000 a year for the next 20 years. The attorney for the plaintiff's estate argues that the lost income should be discounted back to the present at 4 percent. The lawyer for the defendant's insurance company argues for a discount rate of 9 percent. What is the difference between the present value of the settlement at 4 percent and 9 percent? Compute each one separately. Use Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. (Do not round intermediate calculations.
