37,000 units

Explanation:

The computation of the total equivalent units for direct material is shown below:

= Transferred to finished goods during the month of July + Ending work in process during the month of July - Inventory in process, July 1

= 37,500 units + 3,500 units - 4,000 units

= 41,000 units - 4,000 units

= 37,000 units

We simply applied the above formula so that the total equivalent units for direct materials could come
