1. Suppose an individual at age 25 has an annual income of $50,000 and that this income is expected to grow at an annual rate of 2% a year over the course of her career. Assuming that she is expected to retire at the 60, what is the discounted value of her lifetime earnings? Use a discount rate of 3% when making your calculations. 5pt 2. The method used in Q1 is often used by the courts to gauge the magnitude of compensatory damages in instances when someone has been killed in an accident, etc. What is wrong with these types of methods for gauging the value of someone's life? Please incorporate economic rationale into your answer. Be specific. 5pt 3. In homes without working fire alarms, the chance of dying in a non-confined home fire is .0164 if there is a fire. In homes with working fire alarm, the chance of dying is .0115 if there is a fire. Similarly, the chance of a non- confined house fire occurring is about 0.0015 (= 92,450/125,000,000). So, all else being equal, the chances of dying in your home due to a non-confined house fire are 0.000025 and 0.000017, respectively, without and with a fire alarm Noting that smoke alarms range in price from $15 to $60 a piece, can we use this data and the trade-off method to estimate a range in the value of a statistical life? If so, what are these values? Do they seem reasonable? Please show all of your work and provide a raionale. 10pt
