The equivalent units of conversion is 351,300

Explanation:

The computation of the conversion equivalent units is shown below:

= (Units completed and transferred out * conversion percentage) + (Ending Inventory * conversion percentage)

= 348,000 * 100% + $33,000 * 10%

= 348,000 + 3,300

= 351,300
