    The value of the settlement today is $147025.49

    Explanation:

    The cash flows from the settlement will be received with delays of a year between each payment so we will need to discount every payment received by the appropriate discount rate which is 4.1% using appropriate time. The Present value of the payments received will be,

    Present Value = 19000 / (1+0.041) + 27000 / (1+0.041) ² + 48000 / (1+0.041) ³ + 72000 / (1+0.041) ^4

    Present value = $147025.486 rounded off to $147025.49
