Answer:

23.58-th

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation of company B's profit is:

\sigma_B=\sqrt{2.25}\sigma_A

Let X be the profit correspondent to the 14th percentile of company A's profit.

The z-score for 14th percentile of a normal distribution is roughly -1.08.

The z-scores for X in companies A and B are:

-1.08 = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma_a} \\z_B = \frac{X-\mu}{\sqrt{2.25}*\sigma_a}\\z_B=\frac{-1.08}{\sqrt{2.25}}\\z_B = -0.72

The z-score for X in company B's profit distribution is -0.72, which corresponds to the 23.58-th percentile.
