The equivalent units of conversion is $167,375 units

Explanation:

The computation of the equivalent unit of conversion is shown below:

= (Beginning inventory units * remaining percentage) + (units started and completed units * completed percentage) + (ending inventory units * completed percentage)

= (40,000 units * 45%) + (140,000 units * 100%) + (37,500 units * 25%)

= 18,000 units + 140,000 units + $9,375 units

= $167,375 units
