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:

The Filtration Department completed and transferred out 160,000 liters at a total cost of $148,000.
