Final answer:

To find the average number of employees per department after the creation of a new department and transfer of 10 employees within two companies, sum the total number of employees and divide by the new department count, which is 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the average number of employees per department, we need to determine the total number of departments and the total number of employees after the changes described. Since there are five companies with 5 departments each, we initially have 25 departments in total. If Beet Steel and Tata Rock each add a new department, this would result in 2 additional departments, making the total 27. If 10 people transfer to the new departments within these two companies, assuming the transfers are from existing departments of those companies, we must also factor this into our totals.

Without the specific numbers of people in each department initially, we cannot provide an exact average. However, the process to calculate the average would be to sum all the employees across all the departments after the transfers and divide by the new total number of departments (27). Therefore, the formula to find the average is: Total Number of Employees / 27.
