Refer to the Arctic Springs Bottling Department Data Set and your answer to S5-20.
Arctic Springs produces premium bottled water. The preceding Short Exercises considered the first process in bottling premium water-Filtration. We now consider Arctic Springs' second process-Bottling. In the Bottling Department, workers bottle the filtered water and pack the bottles into boxes. Conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the Bottling process, but packaging materials are not added until the end of the process.
December data from the Bottling Department follow:
Beginning work in process inventory (45% of the way through the process) ... 9,000 liters
Transferred in from Filtration ........................................................................ 160,000 liters
Completed and transferred out to Finished Goods Inventory in
December ....................................................................................................... 147,000 liters
Ending work in process inventory (85% of the way through the bottling
process) .......................................................................................................... 22,000 liters

The Filtration Department completed and transferred out 160,000 liters at a total cost of $148,000
Required:
1. Prepare the journal entry to record the cost of units completed and transferred to finished goods.
2. Post all transactions to the Work in Process Inventory-Bottling T-account. What is the ending balance?
