X-INEFFICIENCY: Cost that is higher than it needs to be because a firm is operating inefficiently. This is most often seen for firms that have a great deal of market control, especially monopoly.

The business is not penalized for these actions, because market control allows the company to extract whatever price is needed to cover cost.
