    80%

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Beginning inventory = 1,000

    Number of units started and completed = 4,200

    also, 30 % of 3100 units were completed = 930 units

    The equivalent production for the period = 5,330 units

    now,

    The number of units not completed = Total units produced - (30 % of 3100 units) - (Number of units started and completed)

    or

    The number of units not completed = 5,330 - 930 - 4200 = 200 units

    thus,

    the number of units completed = Total inventory - number of units not completed

    or

    = 1000 - 200 = 800 units

    thus, percentage of completed units = (Completed units / total inventory) * 100

    on substituting the values, we have

    percentage of completed units = (800 / 1000) * 100 = 80%
