Question

Daniel J Company uses a job-order costing system and started the month of
March with three jobs in process. The cost of beginning work in process
plus the costs added during March are shown below:

                                   Job #1        Job #2        Job #3
beginning work in process .....    $4,930        $4,970        $2,840

COSTS ADDED DURING MARCH:
direct materials ..............    $3,400        $4,200        $4,600
direct labor ..................    $5,000        $4,000           ?

Daniel J applies overhead to jobs based on a percentage of direct materials
used. During March, Daniel J completed both Job #2 and Job #3. Job #1 was
not completed by the end of March. Job #2 consisted of 1,700 units; some
of these units were sold during March. None of the units from Job #3 were
sold in March. Daniel J Company's accounting records for March disclosed
the following information:

Work in process inventory balance at March 31 ..........  $15,880
Actual overhead cost for the month of March ............  $ 8,500
Cost of goods sold for March ...........................  $11,830
Finished goods inventory balance at March 31 ...........  $18,870

The cost of goods sold number above represents the cost of goods sold for
March after the overhead variance has been closed for March.

Calculate the number of units from Job #2 that were sold during March.
Simply enter your answer as a number. Do not type the word units after
