In perfectly competitive markets, economic profits are zero in the long run because firms are able to enter and exit the market. If firms in a perfectly competitive market are profitable, there would be an incentive for new firms to enter. Supply would increase, causing an increase in quantity and the price to be driven back down to equilibrium: NO PROFIT! If firms in a perfectly competitive market are suffering a loss, some firms would choose to exit the market. Supply would decrease, causing a decrease in quantity and the price to be driven back up to equilibrium: NO PROFIT!

The short answer: entry of new firms and exit of old ones. If profits are positive, new firms will enter the industry, piling in until they compete away all these profits. If long-term profits are negative, firms will exit until the price rises enough so that the firms who stay in the market can break even.

True
In long run under perfect competition new firms enters into the market and share the profit of existing firms due to free entry and exit .the new firms in the long run enters into the market until they earn profit and leaves the market if they suffer looses. In short if there is free entry and exit
The concept of perfect competition is based on a large number of small firms, where no single firm can affect the market price. These firms operate as price takers, and use the cost supplied by the market. These ideal companies would insure efficiency. However, perfect competitive firms are unrealistic in real world scenarios.
Economies of scale
Perfectly competitive
one firm which sells a good price set by that firm hard for other firms to enter market
