how to construct the change prices(p1 * w1 + p * w).
![A consum

(a) Find the indirect money-metric utility e(p, v(p, w)).
(b) Calculate the compensating variation associated with the change from (p, w) = ((4,4), 2)
to (p', w')= ((1,9), 5).
can you explain the notation please break it down each part of it, please teach How
do you know where to place the values?
The indirect money-metric utility e(p, v(p, w)) can be calculated as follows:
e(p, v(p, w)) = v(p, w) - ((p1* w1) + (p2 * w2))
plugging in the values from the problem, we get:
e(p, v(p, w)) = (sqrt(w))/p1^-0.5+p2^-0.5- ((44) + (9 * 5))
e(p, v(p, w)) = 2 - 41
CV = 2
e(p, v(p, w)) = -39
The compensating variation associated with the change from (p, w) = ((4,4), 2) to (p', w')= ((1,9),
5) can be calculated as follows:
CV = e(p', w')- e(p, w)
plugging in the values from the problem, we get:
CV-39 (-41)
This means that the consu would be willing to pay up to $2 in order to maintain their original
level of utility.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fcc93dd3a-e660-4464-bc8c-e382a2c34aae%2F85d78034-6157-4917-b7d7-18b557454e29%2Fn1abyj_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
