93,760 units

Explanation:

For computing the equivalent units for conversion costs, first we have to compute the transferred units which is shown below:

= Transferred units - ending work in process inventory units

= 90,400 units - 1,600 units

= 88,800 units

Now the equivalent units for conversion costs equal to

= Beginning work in process inventory units * completed percentage + Transferred units * percentage of completion + ending work in process inventory units * percentage of completion

= 4,000 units * 100% + 88,800 units * 100% + 1,600 units * 60%

= 4,000 units + 88,800 units + 960 units

= 93,760 units
