1. We produce tennis racquets. In the Assembly Department, we have 3 types of Direct Materials: frame, string, and handle, as well as normal Conversion Costs. We add the frame direct material at the beginning of the assembly process so we can bend it, polish it, etc. About 6 minutes is used working on the frame. Then, we add the string direct material and work on it for about the next 3 minutes. Then, we add the handle direct material and finish working on it over the next 1 minute. So, each racquet spends about 10 minutes in the Assembly Department. The Conversion Costs are added evenly throughout the entire time. We had 200 partially completed racquets in our beginning inventory that were 55% complete. We started 5,000 more this period. We had 300 partially completed racquets in our ending inventory that were 80% complete. Based on this information, complete the following table: Whole Units Beg Inv S & C End Inv Total EU for DM Frames EU for DM - String EU for DM - Handle EU for CC

Question
**Assembly Process of Tennis Racquets:**

In our Assembly Department, we incorporate three types of Direct Materials: frame, string, and handle, along with standard Conversion Costs. Initially, we introduce the frame direct material at the start of the assembly process for bending, polishing, etc. Approximately 6 minutes is dedicated to working on the frame. Subsequently, we add the string direct material and continue working for about 3 minutes. Finally, the handle direct material is added and completes the process in the next 1 minute. Each racquet spends roughly 10 minutes in the Assembly Department.

Conversion Costs are distributed evenly throughout the assembly time. Our beginning inventory included 200 partially completed racquets, which were 55% complete. This period, we initiated the assembly of 5,000 more racquets. The ending inventory comprised 300 partially finished racquets, 80% complete. Based on this, complete the table below:

**Table:**

|                     | Whole Units | EU for DM - Frames | EU for DM - String | EU for DM - Handle | EU for CC |
|---------------------|-------------|--------------------|---------------------|--------------------|----------|
| Beg Inv             |             |                    |                     |                    |          |
| S & C               |             |                    |                     |                    |          |
| End Inv             |             |                    |                     |                    |          |
| Total               |             |                    |                     |                    |          |

Expert Solution
Step 1

Equivalent units means where the some goods remain incomplete at the end of process and we need to calculate the units to absorb the cost.

If nothing mention , then FIFO method should be used i.e. first in first out.
