Note: 'Excessive' is not an objective term to use for economics analysis.

Monopoly profits usually represent a form of price mark-up, setting MC = MR and then vertically matching the maximum willingness-to-pay for that unit and all units before it on the demand curve. This is socially inefficient but privately optimal.
