Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Return on the stock = (Dividend ÷ Investment) + (capital gain ÷ investment )

= (Dividend ÷ Investment) + (Final price of the stock - initial price of the stock) ÷ Investment

10 = (1 ÷ 20) × 100 + ((final price - 20) ÷ 20) × 100

10 = 5 + 5 × ( final price - 20)

Final price = 21

Therefore, the stock price should increase by [(21 - 20) ÷ 20] × 100

                                                                            = 5%
