How to determine optimal output and price level?

Optimal output and price are where marginal cost equals marginal benefit; or, if they can be exactly equal, where they are as close as possible without marginal cost exceeding marginal benefit.

In a monopolistic market, there will be Pareto optimality if the monopolist is a perfect price discriminator (charging each buyer his or her reserve price). Otherwise, there will be a dead-weight loss.
