The average electricity consumption of a house in
Gainesville is known to be 1,036 kWh in a month
(One month = 30 days). They would like to install
solar panels of 30 % efficiency to generate this
electricity. Given that the average solar power
density in Gainesville is 5.47 kWh/m2/day, how much
surface area must the panels occupy? Calculate the
result in m² but do not write the unit. Round off you
E swer to a whole number (zero decimal place.)

58. A retired partner from a large brokerage firm hasone million dollars available to invest in particularstocks or bonds. Each investment’s annual rate ofreturn depends on the state of the economy in thecoming year. The file P09_58.xlsx contains thedistribution of returns for these stocks and bonds asa function of the economy’s state in the coming year.As this file indicates, the returns from stocks andbonds in a fair economy are listed as X and Y. Thisinvestor wants to allocate her one million dollars tomaximize her expected value of the portfolio oneyear from now.a. If X 5 Y 5 15%, find the optimal investment strategy for this investor. (Hint: You could try a decisiontree approach, but it would involve a massive tree.It is much easier to find an algebraic expression forthe expected final value of the investment whena percentage p is put in stocks and the remainingpercentage is put in bonds.)b. For which values of X (where 10% , X , 20%)and Y (where 12.5% , Y , 17.5%), if any,…
