Explanation:A perfectly competitive market exist where there are many buyers and sellers with homogeneous products, and no restrictions to the entry and exit of the market. In the short run of this market, economic profits are attainable even though they vary and is the factor that determines whether to exit or remain in the market.  Here, Price = Marginal cost equal Marginal Revenue.

 A monopolistic market occurs  where many sellers with slight different products exists having slight  influence to set the price according to firm's preference, and  no significant barriers to entryof the market.
