    B ($227.27)

    Explanation:

    Before the competitor arrived

    Annual cost = $280 * 100,000 = $28,000,000

    Annual sales = $360 * 100,000 = $36,000,000

    Annual profit = $36,000,000 - $28,000,000 = $8,000,000

    When the competitor arrived

    Quantity sold annually increases by 10% = 100,000 + (100,000*0.1) = 100,000 + 10,000 = 110,000

    Annual sales = $300 * 110,000 = $33,000,000

    Target cost to make a profit of $8,000,000 = ($33,000,000 - $8,000,000) / 110,000 = $25,000,000/110,000 = $227.27
