To determine comparative advantage, we need to compare the opportunity costs of producing each good. Abigail's opportunity cost of producing one tablet is (3/4) radios, while Jacob's opportunity cost of producing one tablet is (1/2) radios. Since Jacob's opportunity cost of producing tablets is lower than Abigail's opportunity cost, Jacob has a comparative advantage in producing tablets. Similarly, Abigail's opportunity cost of producing one radio is (4/3) tablets, while Jacob's opportunity cost of producing one radio is (1/2) tablets. Therefore, Abigail has a comparative advantage in producing radios.
