Suppose a firm is in a perfectly competitive market. 10 Price 9- 8 4.5³ 3.5 MC ATC AVC 123 4 5 6 7 8 Quantity Suppose currently price is $6, what will happen in the long run? O Nothing. The price is consistent with zero economic profits, so there is no incentive for firms to enter or exit the industry. O Individual firms will earn positive economic profits for now, which will entice other firms to enter the industry in the long run. O Individual firms will earn negative economic profits for now, which will cause some firms to exit the industry in the long run. O Because the price is below the firm's average variable costs, the firms will shut down.
If a firm in a perfectly competitive industry raises its price above market price. O a sales will drop to zero. O b. demand curves will become downward sloping. Oc profit will increase.
