Answer to Question 1

If firms are incurring economic losses, some will exit in the long run. When firms exit, the market supply decreases and the market supply curve shifts leftward. When supply decreases, the price rises. As the price rises, the surviving firms increase production and their economic losses are eliminated.

Answer to Question 2
