Explain how monopoly causes an inefficient allocation of resources when the competitive firm does not even when both seek to maximize profit
monopoly
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.
In Monopoly, there is no market power as the monopoly firm is the only supplier and holds pricing power. However in a perfect competitive market, prices are set by interaction of supply and demand. This is why monopoly markets are undesirable relative to perfect competitive market.
