Opportunity cost refers to the value of the next best alternative that is foregone when making a choice. To determine who is making a decision based on opportunity cost, we would need specific examples or scenarios involving individuals weighing different options and their respective benefits. For instance, if someone decides to spend money on education instead of a vacation, they are considering the opportunity cost of not being able to take that vacation. Please provide specific individuals or scenarios for a more precise answer.
In economics, the opportunity cost is the next best alternative forgone in a decision. The next best alternative is determined by the values of the consumer making the decision.For example: a consumer must to choose between going to the beach, going to the cinema, or staying at home for the day (they can only do one of these for the day). The consumer values the options in this order (from most-desired to least-desired): 1) going to the beach, 2) going to the cinema, 3) staying at home. If the consumer decides to go to the beach, the opportunity cost is going to the cinema, as this is the next best alternative for the consumer. Staying at home is not the opportunity cost, as it is not the next best alternative.There is only one opportunity cost in a decision; this is the next best alternative. All other less-desirable alternatives are not considered opportunity costs in a decision.

Depends!! If you are just watching whatever is on, just to fill out your day. Then Yes. But if you have an interest in what you see, and decides from that, Then I would usually say No. By Usually I mean: Even if you decides from interest, It could be because you are to lazy to attend it live. e.g. sports, or to study yourself, then I would also say Yes here.
