Note that because the first payment starts today, the last payment will occur in 29
years (for a total of 30 payments). This is an example of an annuity due.
The $1 million at date 0 is already stated in present value terms, but we need to
compute the present value of the remaining payments.
This case looks like a 29-year annuity of $1 million per year, so we can use the annuity
formula.
Conclusion: Option (b) is more valuable, even though the total amount of money paid
is half of the amount paid in option (a). Why?

To determine the amount Ellen will have in the bank at age 65, well need to
compute the future value of this annuity.

To pay off the mortgage, you must repay the remaining balance.
The remaining balance is equal to the present value of the remaining payments.
The remaining payments can be modeled as a 18-year annuity:
