Suppose the marginal benefit of writing a contract is $100, independent of its length. Find the optimal contract length when the marginal cost of writing a contract of length L is:

a. MC (L) = 30 + 4L. b. MC (L) = 40 + 5L.

    a. 17.5

    b. 12

    Explanation:

    Given that

    Marginal cost = $100

    The computation of optimal contract length is given below : -

    Marginal benefit = Marginal cost (length)

    a. $100 = 30 + 4L

    L = 70 : 4

    = 17.5

    b) 100 = 40 + 5L

    L = 60 : 5

    = 12

    Therefore, for calculating the optimal contract length simply we calculate both the equations equals with marginal benefit to the marginal cost (length)
