His utility function is given as: U(V,M) = V^2MLast year, the average price of taking a vacation overseas was US$200 and the average price of an expensive meal is $50. However, due to supply problems in Onions, the average price of an expensive meal rose to $75. The average price of a vacation did not change. His income, which is $1500, did not change. Suppose that the Department of Welfare wants to know how much should be given to Eren to offset his change un utility due to the price increase of an expensive meal.
