Explanation:

In the long run, as firms enter into the industry, price would fall. This is due to the law of supply which says the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.

The entry of firms into the industry in the long run drives economic profit to zero and ensures that price is equal to marginal cost or average cost.
