b. $301.10

Explanation:

Current Sales = P = $225,000,000

Growth rate = g = 6%

Number of year = 5 years

Using simple growth formula we will find the Sales value after 5 years.

Future Sales = Current Sale (1 + growth rate) ^Number of years

A = P (1 + g) ^n

A = 225,000,000 x (1 + 0.06) ^5

A = 225,000,000 x 1.33823

A = 301,101,750 = 301.10175 Million

So, the correct option is b. $301.10.
