Cash inflow of $225,000

Explanation:

Land is a non-current asset and the proceeds from sale of non-current assets form part of investing activities. Firefly Inc. has a cash inflow of $225,000 from the sale of land. So the cash received from sale of land will be added to cash flow from investing activities in the head: Purchase or Sale of an Asset.
