Rodney Parsons · Answer 1

Zero economic profits in the long run.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition, firms are able to freely enter into, or exit a market.

As more and more firms enter the market, it causes an increase in supply in the long run, which leads to a fall in prices and therefore profits, such that firms will start to earn normal profits or zero economic profits.
