A firm in monopolistic competition faces a downward sloping demand curve and can earn profits in the short run by producing where marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. If the firm produces more than the profit-maximizing quantity, it will face losses as marginal revenue declines below average cost. To avoid losses, the firm must reduce production to where marginal revenue equals average cost.
