Power is as easy as PIE (P=IxE). Watts equals the current squared time the resistance. Assuming a pure resistive load; they are equal. To answer the question precisely, one DC watt equals one AC watt.

this is  WRONG.     because the energy density of AC is less-than DC.     in order to comparethe context of a comparison of power consumed to power 'produced',  it is Necessary to use an 'equivalency'  factor/formula  performance

Watts are watts, the conversion is already done in the way AC voltage is measured.

DC 100W equals AC 100W as far as heating and lighting load is concerned. AC load is equated in RMS equivalent to DC Watts.

Is converting ac to watts and dc to watts the same watts equals volts times amps?

Yes, watts is still volts times amps, for both ac and dc circuits. The complexity lies in the phase angle between voltage and current. If the circuit is purely resistive, the phase angle will be zero. If the circuit is capacitive or inductive, the the phase angle will vary, depending on frequency and on how much capacitive or inductive reactance there is. The difference comes into play when you consider true versus apparent power.
