    d) $5.10.

    Explanation:

    The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:

    Predetermined overhead rate = Actual fixed overhead cost : actual sales volume

    = $56,100 : 11,000 units

    = $5.10

    Since the predetermined overhead cost use the sale price so we considered only the actual fixed overhead cost and the actual sales volume

    And, by applying the above formula we can get the predetermined overhead rate
