A monopoly produces at a point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost, they don't charge this price, but charge a higher price that corresponds with the demand they face. Therefore they produce less and charge more than a competitive firm that equates the price to marginal cost.
A monopoly is allocatively inefficient because it restricts output and sets prices higher than in a competitive market. This leads to a misallocation of resources and a deadweight loss, reducing overall economic welfare. Market outcomes are impacted as consumers pay higher prices, have fewer choices, and may receive lower quality products or services. Additionally, monopolies can stifle innovation and hinder economic growth.

monopoly
A perfect competitive market and pure monopoly market both have to follow the "law of demand".
It is assumed that they are producing on the lowest point of their Average Total Cost curves, therefore producing the maximum possible output from available inputs and so productively efficient. They are also allocatively efficient because Price is equal to Marginal Cost.
The difference between a monopoly market and a perfectly competitive market is that in a perfectly competitive market there are many sellers and buyers, the traded goods are homogeneous goods or the same goods and sellers are not free to set prices. whereas, a monopoly market is a market that has only one seller, so buyers have no other choice and sellers have a large influence on price changes.
Monopoly is efficient because it promotes growth in market sectors by engaging products in a competitive environment. That's what a monopoly does NOT do. A monopoly (single supplier to a marketplace) can be either efficient or inefficient. An efficient monopoly is one where, free from competitive pressures, the supplier spends all its time making more, higher quality and better costing products. That's not what usually happens. An INefficient monopoly is one where the monopolist gets fat and happy, secure in his knowledge anyone who uses the product he sells has to get it from him, and curtails innovation (since everyone's buying the stuff anyway, why bother?), cheapens the product he's selling and raises the price beyond all justification.
In a perfectly competitive market, a monopoly would produce at a level where marginal cost equals marginal revenue, but unlike in perfect competition, it would restrict output to maximize profits. This results in higher prices and lower quantities than would occur in a competitive market, where many firms produce the same product and prices are driven down to marginal cost. Consequently, a monopoly typically leads to inefficiencies and a welfare loss in the economy, as consumer surplus is reduced and producer surplus increases.
Service and quality are generally better in a perfectly competitive industry than in a monopoly. In a competitive market, many businesses offer similar products or services, so each one must focus on better quality, pricing, and customer service to attract and retain customers. Competition encourages innovation and keeps businesses responsive to consumer needs. In contrast, a monopoly faces little or no competition, which can reduce the incentive to improve service or quality since customers have limited alternatives. This is why competition laws and market regulation are important to protect consumers and promote fair business practices—areas where legal guidance from KN Law LLP is often relevant.
