His utility function is given as: U(V,M) = V2MLast year, the average price of taking a vacation overseas was US$200 and the averageprice of an expensive meal is $50. However, due to supply problems in Onions, theaverage price of an expensive meal rose to $75. The average price of a vacation did notchange. His income, which is $1500, did not change. Suppose that the Department of Welfare wants to know how much should begiven to Eren to offset his change un utility due to the price increase of an expensivemeal. Calculate the compensative variation (CV).

- Please no written by hand and no emage Consider a consumer that consumes 2 teaspoons of sugar with each cup of coffee. For each cup of coffee with sugar the consumer gains 10 utils.a) Write down the utility function that gives the total utility if the consumer consumes S teaspoons of sugar and C cups of coffee. The consumer has assigned £7 per week to be spent on drinking coffee with sugar. The current price of coffee is £0.50 per cup and each spoon of sugar costs £0.10. b) Calculate the optimal weekly consumption bundle for this consumer.c) Does the consumer view C and S as complements or substitutes?10. Consider the utility function U(x, y) = xy + x. Which of the following bundles is noton the same indifference curves as the others. Note: The first entry is the amount of x, thesecond is the amount of y.(a) (5,1)(b) (2,4)(c) (4,2)(d) (2.5,3)Exercise 3 An individual lives two periods, 0 and 1. The income is 14,000 in period 0 and 5,000 in period 1. The individual's marginal utility is: K- Co in period 0 and d8(K – C1) in period 1, where C is the consumption in period 0, C1 the consumption in period 1 and d a discount rate. K is a constant (higher than the consumption in each period). Suppose that the person can save or borrow from the bank from period 0 to period 1 with a 25% interest rate. Set the discount rate & to 0.8. a) How much will the individual consume in the two periods? How much will she save? b) A National Insurance scheme (pension system) is established. The individual must pay 4,500 in period 0 and receives the same amount with interests in addition to her income in period 1. What will the consumption and savings be in the two periods if the National Insurance scheme uses the same interest rate as the bank?
