| EMerkert | Monopolistic firms would first seek to maximize market share by undercutting competitors, once this is acheived then they can maximize profits by raising prices without much competition |
| udhay | Why not B,In perfect competition firms can make max profit only thru max sales |
| Thescholar | Maximising sales may lead to increased costs which may therefore not maximise profit |
| vatsal92 | Profit is the sole motive of perfect competition firms. |
