A consumer's utility function is given by u(x, 1' with MU=x₂ and MU where x, and x, denote the quantities of good 1 and good 2 consumed. Calculate the utility maximizing quantity of good 1 if income is 397, price for good 1 is 6 and price for good 2 is 8. Please round your answer to the closest integer.

Eren’s two main hobbies are taking vacations overseas (V) and eating expensivemeals (M). 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).
Suppose that, by law, a person is required to consume a fixed amount of good X, say X0. Assuming X is a normal good, explain how this law reduces utility for both high and low income people.
