A preference-maximising consumer consumes two commodities. The prices of the commodities are denoted by p1 and p2, and the consumer’s income is denoted by I. The indirect utility function of the consumer is: V (p1, p2, I) = I2/4p1(p2 − p1) .
Find the underlying utility function that would have generated it.

A preference-maximising consumer’s expenditure function is e(p1, p2, u) = p2(4p1u − p2)/ 4p1 . Suppose that the prices of the goods are initially p 0 1 = 1, p 0 2 = 4, and that the consumer’s income is $120. The prices change to p 1 1 = 2, and p 1 2 = 2 with no change in the consumer’s income. Find the equivalent variation and the compensating variation associated with these price changes. Interpret the numbers you...
