    A) 150 tablets, 50 televisions in Tabletland and 50 tablets, 150 televisions in Ledville.

    Explanation:

    Tabletland's opportunity cost of producing tablets over TVs = 1/4 = 0.25 TVs per tablet

    Tabletland's opportunity cost of producing TVs over tablets = 4/1 = 4 tablets per TV

    Ledville's opportunity cost of producing tablets over TVs = 4/2 = 2 TVs per tablet

    Ledville's opportunity cost of producing TVs over tablets = 2/4 = 0.5 tablets per TV

    This means that Tabletland has a comparative advantage in the production of tablets and Ledville in the production of TVs.

    Tabletland should produce = 50 x 4 tablets = 200 tablets per year Ledville should prodcue = 50 x 4 TVs = 200 TVs per year

    After trade:

    Tabletland will have 150 tablets and 50 TVs Ledville will have 150 TVs and 50 tablets
