Difficulty – Hard

As a jury foreperson, calculate the size of the settlement for a plaintiff injured in an accident that prevents them from working for a certain period. Consider the present value of back pay for two years, the present value of future salary for a specific period, an amount for pain and suffering, and court costs. Assume that the salary payments are equal monthly amounts and use a given effective annual rate for calculations. Additionally, discuss whether a higher or lower interest rate would be preferable for the plaintiff.
