Rachel G.
A monopoly firm is different from a perfectly competitive firm in that: A monopolist can influence market price whereas a perfectly competitive firm cannot. A competitive firm has a u-shaped average cost curve whereas a monopolist does not. There are many substitutes for a monopolist's product whereas there are no substitutes for a competitive firm's product. A monopolist's demand curve is perfectly inelastic whereas a perfectly competitive firm's demand curve is perfectly elastic.
