E$-$Education is a new startup that develops and markets MBA courses offered over the Internet. The

company is currently located in Chicago and employs $150$ people. Due to strong growth, the company

needs additional office space. The company has the option of leasing additional space at its current

location in Chicago for the next two years, but after that will need to move to a new building. Another

option the company is considering is moving the entire operation to a small Midwest town immediately.

A third option is for the company to lease a new building in Chicago immediately. If the company

chooses the first option and leases new space at its current location, it can, at the end of two years,

either lease a new building in Chicago or move to the small Midwest town.
