1. Barbara was injured in an automobile accident. She has threatened to file a suit against the other party involved in the accident and has proposed the following settlement:

Damages for 25% loss of the use of her right arm Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦ $150,000

Medical expense Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦Ac€¦….Ac€¦Ac€¦ 30,000

$250,000

The defendant’s insurance company is reluctant to pay punitive damages. Also, the company disputes the amount of her loss of wages amount. Instead, the company offers to pay her $210,000 for damages to her arm and $30,000 medical expenses. Assuming Barbara is in the 35% marginal tax bracket, will her after tax proceeds from accepting the offer be equal to what she considers to be her actual damages (listed above)?
