Jim's utility function is U(q 1 , q 2 ) = min(q 1 , q 2 ).

Question:

Jim's utility function is U(q1, q2) = min(q1, q2). The price of each good is $1, and his monthly income is $4,000. His firm wants him to relocate to another city where the price of q2 is $2, but the price of q1 and his income remain constant. Obviously, Jim would be worse off due to the move. What would be his equivalent variation or compensating variation?
