Answer to Question 1

The firm can make an economic profit, incur an economic loss in the short run, or make zero economic profit in the short run. In the long run, however, the only possible outcome is zero economic profit. An economic profit attracts entry by new firms and economic losses lead to exit by some firms. Thus, after entry or exit is complete in the long run, the remaining firms will make zero economic profit.

Answer to Question 2

D
