A large heat pump should upgrade 5 MW of heat at 85C to be delivered as heat

Question:

A large heat pump should upgrade 5 MW of heat at 85°C to be delivered as heat at 150°C. Suppose the actual heat pump has a COP of 2.5. How much power is required to drive the unit? For the same COP, how high a high temperature would a Carnot heat pump have, assuming the same low T?
