c. 104,700

Explanation:

The computation of the equivalent units for conversion costs in the Assembly Department for the month is shown below:

= Units completed * completion percentage + ending work in process inventory units * completion percentage

= 88,300 units * 100% + 20,500 units * 80%

= 88,300 units + 16,400 units

= 104,700 units

The completed units would be

= Beginning work in process inventory units + transferred units - ending work in process inventory units

= 13,800 units + 95,000 units - 20,500 units

= 88,300 units
