The monopolistically competitive firm frequently prefers nonprice competition to price
competition, because the latter can lead to the firm producing where P = ATC and thus making
no economic profit or, worse, producing in the short run where P < ATC and thus losing money,
with the possibility of eventually going out of business.
Nonprice competition, on the other hand, if successful, results in more monopoly power: The
firm's product has become more differentiated from now less-similar competitors in the industry.
This increase in monopoly power allows the firm to raise its price with less fear of losing
customers. Of course, the firm must still follow the MR = MC rule, but its success in nonprice
competition has shifted both the demand and MR curves upward to the right. This results in
simultaneously a larger output, a higher price, and more economic profits.

Explain how monopoly causes an inefficient allocation of resources when the competitive firm does not even when both seek to maximize profit
Because in a perfectly competitive market, resources are used perfectly efficiently (excuse the grammar). A purely competitive market has very many peculiar features. One of them is that every firm is a price taker. This means they cannot set the price, so they must be as efficient as the most efficient competitor or they will be out-priced. This results in inefficient firms going out of business and only the most efficient staying alive.
My heartfelt apologies, I don't mean to be rude. But, is this a loaded question? If it is a monopoly, there's no competition. Therefore you can determine the price any way you want. {eijgniy: hey there is such a market called monopolistic competition.
