$0.65

Explanation:

The unit cost per can of soup transferred to finished goods warehouse during March is the total manufacturing costs incurred by both Mixing and Cooking department and Canning Department divided by the total number of cans of soup transferred.

Both departments incurred $122,900  in manufacturing costs i.e($113,400+$9,500) while the total number of gallons of soup transferred to finished goods warehouse was 190,000 cans
