Answer:

The correct option B ,stock price increased proportionately with the dividend increase

Explanation:

To a rational investor, the price tag on a share is given by the expected dividend divided by the investor's rate of return.

To illustrate this further, the increase in dividend  in percentage terms is calculated thus:

=($1.48-$1.45)/$1.45=2.07%

The divided has increased by 2.07%

Assuming investor's rate of return is 10%, we can calculate the price of the stock when dividend is $1.45 as well as when it is $1.48

price=$1.45/0.1=$14.5

price=$1.48/0.1=$14.8

The increase in price is computed thus:

(14.8-14.5)/14.5=2.07%

There is no doubt that an increase in dividend of 2.07%  brought about the same increase share price ,hence choice of answer.
