Suppose that the market for candy canes is perfectly competitive, that it is initially in long-run equilibrium, that the price of each candy cane is $0.10, and that the market demand curve is downward sloping. The price of sugar rises, increasing the marginal and average total cost of producing candy canes by $0.05; there are no other changes in production costs. In the long run, we will observe: a) firms entering the industry. b) some firms entering and some firms leaving. c) firms leaving the industry. d) neither entry to nor exit from the industry.
