The sales will grow at the rate of 20.11% each year.

Explanation:

This problem requires us to calculate the growth rate of sales. The growth can easily be calculated using following formula.

Growth = (Future Value/Current value) ^ (1/n) - 1

Growth = (500,000/200,000) ^ (1/5) - 1

Growth = 20.11 %
