Answer:

173,500 units

Explanation:

The computation of the number of equivalent units produced by the department is shown below:

= Completed and transferred units × completion percentage + ending work in process units × completion percentage - Beginning work in process units × completion percentage

= 165,000 units × 100% + 22,000 units × 75% - 20,000 units × 40%

= 165000 units - 16,500 units - 8,000 units

= 173,500 units
