Assume that you are trying to determine the optimal contract length for your firm. You know the following information: Marginal Benefit of the Contract is fixed at: $981 Marginal Cost of the Contract is equal to: MC(L) = 126 + 5*L where L = length of the contract measured in months. What is the optimal contract length?

Suppose the marginal cost of writing a contract of length L is MC(L) = 10 + 2L. Find the optimal contract length when the marginal benefit of writing a contract is: Instruction: Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places. a. MB(L) = 100. b. MB(L) = 150. c. What happens to the optimal contract length when the marginal benefit of writing a contract increases? It stays the same. It increases. It decreases.
