The equivalent units of production for conversion cost would be $11,680 units

Explanation:

The computation of the equivalent unit of conversion is shown below:

= (Beginning inventory units * remaining percentage) + (units started and completed units * completed percentage) + (ending inventory units * completed percentage)

= (6,800 units * 25%) + (6,500 units * 100%) + (5,800 units * 60%)

= 1,700 units + 6,500 units + $3,480 units

= $11,680 units
