Consider the simplified payment system that was established to compensate the victims of $\frac{9}{11}$ for lost lifetime earnings.

The family of a $65-$year$-$old service worker who earned $$10,000$ a year recelves $$300,000$ in compensation.

The family of a $30-$year$-$old bond trader who earned $$175,000$ a year recelves $$4\mathrm{.}35$milion. Which statement most accurately describes the difference in the payments between the service worker and the bond trader?

The future value of the bond trader's lifetime income is less than the service worker's.

Such a discrepancy in compensation would never be the case.

The present value of the bond trader's Rletime income is greater than that of the service worker's.

Because of her age, the bond trader had less savings to rely on$,$ so her family rectived more compensation.

None of these answers is correct.
