Ans: 100 firms
Explanation:
Under perfect competition , the industry is the price maker whereas the firm is the price taker. It means there is an unique price in the market . Firms are not able to change the market price. They can sell or produce as much as they can at the prevailing market price.
In the above figure ( right side ) , the market equilibrium price is $40 and equilibrium quantity is 500 Webcams.
In this market structure , there are large number of sellers selling the homogeneous product.
In the left side figure , the firm's equilibrium price is $40 and equilibrium quantity is 5 Webcams.
So the total number of firms in this industry = 500 / 5 = 100

If there were 10 firms in this market, the short-run equilibrium
price of copper would be $___ per pound. At that price firms in
this industry would (shut down / operate at a loss / earn zero
profit / earn a positive profit). Therefore, in the long run firms
would (enter / exit / neither enter nor exit) the copper
market.
Because you know that competitive firms earn (positive / zero /
negative) economic profit in the long-run equilibrium price...
