Hello aspirant

Deadweight Loss , the monopolists produces a quantity such  that marginal revenue equals marginal cost. The price is determined by demand curve at this quantity. A monopoly makes a profit equal to the total revenue minus total cost ..

A monopolistically competitive market is inefficient. Since a monopolistic competitive firm has powers over the market that are similar to a monopoly . It's profit maximising level of production will result in a net loss of consumer and producer  surplus, creating deadweight Loss.
