    Estimating Milky Way Absolute Magnitude

    They tell you "solar luminosity" in the problem, implying L=3.84e26W. I take the fact that they give you the absolute magnitude in the B-band as unnecessary information. But it's a reinforcement that they're truly talking of "sun-like" stars. Then you can just find bolometric magnitude.
