Answer: The firm can increase its profit by reducing its output.

Explanation:

Monopolistic Competitive Firms maximise profit at the point where MR = MC. This firm is producing at MC = P. This means that should the company want to make profit, they should reduce their output. This will have the effect of increasing their price and hence marginal revenue as well as reducing marginal cost to a point where MR = MC where they will then be maximising profit.
