Dear student 
The short run, as economists use the phrase, is characterized by at least one fixed factor of production so the proportion of inputs can be changed, the law of variable proportion will only operate in the short run. Firms in perfect competition can make super normal/subnormal profits in the short run as firms are allowed to enter and exit the market only in the long run.
