Answer to Question 1

You would first have to determine what the present value of each 1 million installment is worth by figuring out what rate of return you could reasonable expected to earn. This becomes your discount rate. Once you have calculated the present value of each of these 1 million installments over the next ten years you simply add them up. If they sum to less than 6 million then you should take the cash payment. If not then you should stay with your structured settlement.

Answer to Question 2

A
