Verified

Answer: Assume that the existing firms are earning over normal profits. Attracted by the positive gains, the new firms enter in industry. The market supply rises and the price comes down. New firms carry on entering and the price persists to fall till economic profits are decreased to zero.

In condition of losses, firms begin leaving the industry, supply downs and prices begins going up and all this carry on till losses are wiped out. Remaining firms in industry then once again earn only normal profits or zero profit.
