The Fresh Fish sushi restaurant opened a year ago in Mahwah, NJ. Assume the sushi market operates in perfect competition and the timeframe is the short run. Suppose sushi restaurants are earning economic profits. New competitors will ___ the market; the overall quantity of sushi available in Mahwah will ___ and Fresh Fishes share of the market will ___

Respuesta :

Incomplete question. The options:

a. Enter, decrease, increase

b. Enter, increase, decrease

c. Enter, increase, increase

d. Exit, decrease, decrease

Answer:

b. Enter, increase, decrease  

Explanation:

What happens basically in this scenario is what we find in real life when a company launches a very successful product or service, other existing or previously not existing companies may begin to offer the same type of service (eg Uber's ride-sharing service).

So as The Fresh Fish makes economic profits, this will attract new competitors to enter the sushi market; thereby making the overall quantity of sushi available in Mahwah to increase because of the increase in sellers and Fresh Fishes' share of the market will decrease.
