Professor Martin would rather stay in the university because it is more economical than opening a consulting business. In the university she will be able to save unlike in the consulting business where he will incur extra expenses like paying the office rent, hiring a secretary and other miscellaneous expenses which will make her forego earning 5 percent interest per year by saving.
