period, 60% complete. 16,400 units were started into production during the period; 700 were
in process at the end of the period, 30% complete. Compute equivalent units for conversion
costs.
(b) Handley sells each unit for $45. Variable costs per unit equal $20. Total fixed costs equal
$230,000. Handley is currently selling 12,000 units per period and would like to earn net
income of $40,000. Compute: (1) break-even point in dollars; (2) sales units necessary to
attain desired income; and (3) margin of safety ratio for current operations.
