1.Anita had a ten-year contract with city of West Haven to operate the city's visitor and convention bureau. For a variety of reasons, Anita and the city manager had several major differences of opinion. With seven years still remaining on the contract, the city unilaterally cancelled the contract and ceased paying Anita her salary and other benefits. Anita sued the city, and the court found the city liable for breach of contract. At the time the contract was terminated (at the beginning of the fourth year of the contract), Anita was 55 years old, and when the court liability ruling was issued Anita was 57. The present value of the lost salary and benefits for the last seven years of the contract are respectively: $110,000, $112,000, $113,000, $115,000, $116,000, $117,000, and $135,000.
