Which statement is correct? Multiple Choice Competitive firms tend to be more efficient than monopolist firms because they maximize per-unit profits, not total profits. Monopolist firms tend to be more internally efficient than competitive firms because they have a single goal of profit maximization. Monopolist firms are in industries with low barriers to entry that tend to lower the cost of producing products. Monopolist firms are sheltered from competitive forces, and such an environment makes them subject to X-inefficiency.
