While firms in perfect competition maximize profit by producing at a quantity where the marginal cost of producing another unit of a good is equal the the marginal revenue from producing another unit, monopoly firms will maximize profit by producing at a quantity where marginal cost of producing another unit is equal to O the marginal revenue (the same as perfect competition) the marginal profit O the average total cost O the price of the good
