Suppose a typical firm in a competitive industry has the following data in the short run: price = $4000; output = 1 million units; ATC = $4000; AVC = $3500. What will likely happen in the long run?

▸ In the long run, the industry will contract because firms are suffering losses.

▸ The size of the industry will remain the same in the long run.

▸ The typical firm would shut down, until the remaining firms have a higher price.
