Thanks in advance.
This is the question:

Do you mind me asking how much your camera cost?

the last word: cost is /costs/ or just /cost/.
  

Top answer

Piplot the last word cost (past tense) - What did it cost when you bought it? costs (present tense) - What will it cost me if I want to buy it? Usually I'm asking the first question, so I usually say 'cost' for that situation.
