Suppose apartments are in four​ locations: Location​ A, Location​ B, Location​ C, and Location D. Location A is in the​ city, where your job is. Location B is 10 minutes farther from your job than Location A. Location C is 10 minutes farther from your job than Location​ B, and Location D is 10 minutes farther than Location C. In​ turn, similar apartments in Location B rent for
​$125
less per month than apartments in Location​ A, apartments in Location C rent for
​$125
less than in Location​ B, and apartments in Location D rent for
​$125
less than in Location C. Suppose the value of your time is
​$18
per hour and you work 21 days per​ month, with each day requiring a​ round-trip commute from your apartment to work.
