Placing the phrase "each week" at the end of the sentence emphasizes the consistency of Marsha's saving behavior. It highlights the fact that she needs to save $10 every week in order to reach her goal. On the other hand, when the phrase is placed after "a new bike," it emphasizes that Marsha needs to save $10 each time she wants to buy a new bike. This could imply that she may need to save more frequently or that the cost of the bike is $10. The change in placement alters the focus from the regularity of saving to the cost associated with purchasing a new bike.
