Yes
many firms will earn profits in the short term, but they must constantly innovate and compete to earn profits in the long term
The fur trade :)
Monopolistically competitive firms earn profits by differentiating their products, allowing them to charge higher prices than those in perfectly competitive markets. They attract customers through unique features, branding, or quality, leading to a downward-sloping demand curve. In the short run, if the price exceeds average total costs, they can earn economic profits. However, in the long run, the entry of new firms typically erodes these profits, as they offer similar products and increase competition.
Economic profits disappear when a company's total revenue equals its total costs, including both explicit and implicit costs. This means that the company is no longer making a profit above and beyond what it could earn in an alternative investment.

Yes, an oligopoly can earn long-run economic profits due to the market power held by a few dominant firms. These firms typically engage in strategic pricing and may collaborate (explicitly or implicitly) to restrict output and maintain higher prices. Barriers to entry, such as high startup costs and brand loyalty, further protect these firms from new competitors, allowing them to sustain profits over time. However, the level of competition within the oligopoly can influence the extent of these long-term profits.
