The minimum transfer price is $25.

Explanation:

The number of containers to be transferred = 10000 containers.

The rate of its container = $41.00

The selling price of food to customers = $98 per unit.

The variable cost per unit for food division = $37 per unit

The fixed price per unit = $25

The transfer price should be a minimum of $25 that is equal to variable cost because as per the rule the transfer price between the organization should be equal to variable cost or marginal cost. therefore, the minimum transfer price is $25.
