    It is more convenient to sell the units unfinished by $500.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Units = 1,000

    Unfinished:

    Selling price = $4.00 per unit.

    Complete:

    Incremental costs = $1.00 per unit for direct materials, $2.00 per unit for direct labor, and $1.50 per unit for overhead

    Selling price = $8.00 each.

    We need to calculate the gross profit of each option and choose the more convenient:

    Unfinished:

    Gross profit = 1,000*4 = $4,000

    Complete:

    Gross profit = 1,000 * (8 - 4.5) = $3,500

    It is more convenient to sell the units unfinished by $500.
