Explanation:
A. When microchip used in smartphones become less costly to produce, the supply of smartphones are going to increase, causing a fall in equilibrium price and a rise in equilibrium quantity.
since one of the resources used to make smartphones has become cheaper, more smartphones would be produced, raising its supply, increased supply causes fall in price and rise in equilibrium quantity.
B. since the ALS bucket challenge went viral, supply and demand for research would increase, causing equilibrium price or opportunity cost to either rise or remain unchanged. the equilibrium quantity will then rise, fall or remain unchanged
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Option 1 - the opportunity cost of leisure decreases as wages decrease. 
Explanation:
The labour supply curve of any occupation will always be upward sloping because when wages, (the opportunity cost of leisure) rises, the more hours of leisure a staff will relinquish to do more work.  
The opposite of this is true as seen in option 1 of the question. 
Opportunity costs will reduce with a consequent reduction in average wages. When fewer people want to retain their employment due to decrease in wage rates, it would lead to a fall in demand for leisure.

Answer: Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Cost of new economics textbook = $100
Cost of new CD player = $100
Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.
If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals. 
As the cost of both the products are identical, so the opportunity cost of buying new economics textbook is the enjoyment of the new CD player.
