Under the weighted-average method, the equivalent units of production for conversion costs include fully completed units plus a portion of the units in ending work in process inventory based on their stage of completion. Since the ending work in process inventory is only 50% complete with respect to conversion costs, the equivalent units of production will be less than the total units started during the period, as it accounts for the partial completion of these units.
