Which of the following statements accurately explains why profits for firms in a perfectly competitive industry tend to vanish in the long run? - The demand for products falls over time, so firms are unable to generate revenue. - Prices drop when other perfectly competitive firms see an opportunity to earn profits and enter the market. - Firms that experience losses try to increase supply to cover their costs, leading to zero profits.

Assume the purely competitive market is in long-run equilibrium. For some reason market demand increases. What would happen? Group of answer choices At first, all firms would achieve economic profit, but eventually economic profit would fall back to zero as new firms enter the market. Market price would increase, and producers would band together to prevent new entrants to the market. Market prices would fall, causing producers to reduce output. All economic losses are incurred, firms start leaving the market. An increase in market demand would not produce any change in price, production, or the movement of firms in and out of the market.
