· (a) Assume that industry X is characterized by perfect competition, so every firm in the industry is earning zero economic profit. If the product price falls, no firms can survive. Do you agree or disagree? Discuss. (b) Using a hypothetical example, show the output supplied by a firm and the profit of the firm assuming that the firms are operating under a perfectly competitive industry. When would you expect to see entry into or exit from the industry in the long run? What effect will entry into or exit may have on the market price.? How would you determine the lowest price at which the firm would sell its output in the long run?

Generally, when preferences for a good rise, demand for the good rises. If a perfectly competitive market starts in long-run in the industry and equilibrium, holding all else constant, this will result in a higher market price, which will lead to the market. This causes price to None of these 3 possible answers listed here are correct. economic losses; attracts new firms into; fall economic losses; causes some firms to leave; rise further O positive economic profits; causes some firms to leave; rise further
