Based on the information provided, the Bottling Department completed and transferred out 63,000 cases of cola to Finished Goods Inventory. This information can be found in the bottom row of the Bottling Department's production report, where the total units accounted for (equal to the number of units started and completed during the month plus the number of units in ending work in process inventory) is shown as 63,000 cases. Units completed and transferred out = Units in beginning work in process inventory + Units started into production or transferred in - Units in ending work in process inventory
Units completed and transferred out = 5,000 + 65,000 - 7,000 = 63,000
