Unitary cost per gallon transfer = $1.5 per gallon

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

In March, the Mixing and Cooking Department incurred manufacturing costs of $63,000 to mix 42,000 gallons of soup.

To calculate the unit cost per gallon, we need to divide the manufacturing cost of Mixing and Cooking for the number of gallons.

Unitary cost per gallon transfer = 63,000/42,000 = $1.5 per gallon
