A perfectly competitive market is in a long-run equilibrium. Prices of variable inputs for the typical firm decrease. Describe what will happen in the short run, to the typical firm’s marginal costs, average fixed costs, average costs, profits, and production as the firm makes its choices. In each case, describe why those changes take place. Describe exactly why the firm decides to make changes.

Outline in several sentences what will happen in the long run to the typical firm and the market.
