Markets that have monopolistic competition are inefficient for two reasons. The first source of inefficiency is due to the fact that at its optimum output, the firm charges a price that exceeds marginal costs. The monopolistic competitive firm maximizes profits where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.

The profit maximizing price of the good will be determined based on where the profit-maximizing quantity amount falls on the average revenue curve.
