The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Bovic Inc. is a growing company with sales of $1.25 million this year. The company expects to grow at an annual rate of 25 percent for the next three years, followed by a growth of 20 percent per year for the next two years.

First, we need to calculate the growth in sales for the first three years using the following formula:

FV = PV * (1+i) ^n

FV = 1,250,000 * (1+0.25) ^3 = $2,441,406.25

Now, using the same formula, we can calculate the following two years:

FV = 2,441,406.25*1.20^2 = $3,515,625
