How does a firm in a monopolistic competition market determine its profit-maximizing level of output?

In a monopolistic competition market, a firm determines its profit-maximizing level of output by equating marginal revenue (MR) with marginal cost (MC). The firm will continue to increase its production until MR equals MC. At this point, the firm is maximizing its profits because any further increase in output would result in higher costs than revenue generated.
