Julian is interested in only two goods: good X and good Y and has M dollars to spend (and always spends it all). His uncle Paul is rich and he offered him 1000 dollars as a present but Julian did not take it and chose to just spend his own money. Julian's demand function for good X and the demand function for good Y are given respectively by XJ = 32800/(10Px + Py) and Y₁ = 3280/(10Px + Py). What is Julian's spending money "M"?
