Answer:

B) 130,250

Step-by-step explanation:

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

= Opening work in process units × remaining percentage + units started and completed units × completion percentage + ending work in process units × completion percentage

= 25,000 units × 45% + 110,000 × 100% + 30,000 × 30%

= 11,250 + 110,000 + 9,000

= 130,250 units

Hence, the correct option is B.
