The equivalent units of production for conversion costs in the Assembly Department for the month were 75,600 units, calculated by adding the units from the beginning work-in-process inventory (6,000 * 0.8 = 4,800 units), units transferred in from the prior department (74,000 * 1 = 74,000 units), and units in the ending work-in-process inventory (8,000 * 0.6 = 4,800 units). Therefore, the best choice is B.
