also, in the long run, the firm should exit

If there were 10 firms in this market, the short-run equilibrium
price of copper would be $___ per pound. At that price firms in
this industry would (shut down / operate at a loss / earn zero
profit / earn a positive profit). Therefore, in the long run firms
would (enter / exit / neither enter nor exit) the copper
market.
Because you know that competitive firms earn (positive / zero /
negative) economic profit in the long-run equilibrium price...
