Contrast the long-run profit levels that prevail in Monopoly with those of Monopolistic Competition, and explain clearly why the differences occur.

How do the long-run end-results of Monopoly and Monopolistic Competition compare with the end-results of perfect competition, in terms of the impacts on efficient resource used in the overall economy?
