At the beginning of a period, the production department had 20,000 units in beginning Work in Process inventory which were 40% complete; the department completed and transferred 165,000 units. At the end of the period, 22,000 units were in the ending Work in Process inventory and are 75% complete. Compute the number of equivalent units produced by the department.

Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $43,000. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $48,850. Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $287,000. Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $599,150. Calculate the equivalent units of conversion.
