Answer to Question 1

Above normal profits will entice new firms to enter the industry, thereby driving down market price and firm profits until they reach the normal level, after which no additional firms enter the industry. Below normal profits will cause some firms to exit the industry, thereby raising market price and firm profits until the normal level is reestablished, and no further firms exit the industry.
