Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The equivalent units of production for conversion costs are calculated by adding the units completed and transferred out (35,000 units) to the units in the ending work in process multiplied by their percentage of completion (14,000 units * 50% = 7,000 units). Therefore, 35,000 units + 7,000 units = 42,000 equivalent units.
