What do CV and EV look like for a publicly provided good if a consumer does not

Question:

What do CV and EV look like for a publicly provided good if a consumer does not view them as perfect complements? To examine this case, draw a curved indifference curve, with Wolves on the horizontal axis and Stuff on the vertical axis. If the quantity of wolves is 5, the consumer's utility is the point on that indifference curve associated with Wolves = 5. The consumer's income is the vertical coordinate for that point, since Stuff costs $1 per unit. Suppose that Defenders of Wildlife now provides 5 more wolves. The consumer's income has not changed, but the number of wolves has. Identify this new point, and draw the indifference curve that goes through it. Is the consumer better off or worse off? How can you tell?
