Units completed and transferred= Units in beginning work in process+Units started-Units in ending work in process

= 3,600+65,000-26,000

= 42,600

  Conversion
Units completed and transferred 42,600
Ending work in process (26,000*60%) 15,600
Equivalent units for conversion costs 58,200

So, the answer is option D) 58,200
