A. Where the cost of producing the smartphone increase the supply curve will shift inwards due to change in the cost of input of products.

B. When the number of manufacturers reduces it will lead to a decrease in the supply of smartphones in the markets hence supply curve shift to the left.

D. Where the government offer subsidy on the production of smartphones it will cause a rightward shift of the supply curve hence increase in supply.
