30,633 units

Explanation:

The number of equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the period using the FIFO method is shown below:

= Beginning work in process units * remaining percentage + units started and completed units * percentage of completion + ending work in process inventory units * percentage of completion

= 4,200 units * 24% + 28,900 units * 100% + 2,500 units * 29%

= 1,008 units + 28,900 units + 725 units

= 30,633 units

The units started and completed units are come from

= 33,100 units - 4,200 units

= 28,900 units
