    65 firms will be in the industry at the new long run equilibrium

    Explanation:

    in the long run the P=ATC

    quantity before the change is

    200 = 1000-4Q

    4Q = 800

    Q = 200

    each firm output = Q/number of firms = 200 / 50

    q = 4

    new quantity is

    200 = 1240-4Q

    4Q = 1040

    Q = 260

    number of firms=new Q/q

    =260/4 = 65

    the number of firms is 65 in the long run.
