Answer:

C) $52 per share

Explanation:

The cost basis of the stock includes the purchasing price + all commissions paid to the broker = $50 + $2 = $52

The $2 per stock dividend that the stockholder received must be reported as ordinary income and is taxed as such. The cost basis is used to calculate capital gains or losses.
