Compensating variation (CV) is the amount of money that a consumer would need to be given in order to be as well off as before the price change. Equivalent variation (EV) is the amount of money that a consumer would need to be given in order to be as well off as if the price change had not occurred.
Compensating variation = 100 - (2^0.5/2^0.5) = 100 - 2 = 98
Equivalent variation = 100 - (2^0.5/1) = 100 - 2^0.5 = 97.32
Compensating variation = 100 - (2^0.5/2^0.5) = 100 - 2 = 98
Equivalent variation = 100 - (2^0.5/1) = 100 - 2^0.5 = 97.32
