The authors provide an example that illustrates the calculation of the present discounted value for the lost wages from a deceased worker, and one component in this calculation is the worker's annual mortality rate (m)
Suppose we conduct this computation in two different ways --- one calculation assumes m is constant for all future periods, and the other calculation allows m to decline over time due to improvements in medical technology. Which estimated PDV will be larger? A) The PDV with constant m will be larger B) The PDV with variable m will be larger C) The two PDV's will be equal D) The answer to this question depends on the assumed interest rate
