This is not the meaning of Sam's idiom. He is not expressing that there is research being done on the cost of living, but rather that the cost of living is actively increasing.
This is correct. The expression 'on the rise' means 'increasing' or 'in the process of growing', for example: The number of people who like cricket is on the rise. Sam is trying to justify the fees Bruno is being charged by saying that it is becoming more and more expensive to live. The 'cost of living' is the average cost of the basic necessities in life (food, clothes, rent, etc).
This is close to the meaning of Sam's expression, but not entirely accurate. Something 'on the rise' is 'growing' or 'increasing', not 'surprisingly high'. The idiom refers to the act or process of the cost 'rising', and is not an observation or a judgment.
This is not the meaning of Sam's idiom. He is not expressing that the cost of living is something to be worried or concerned about, but rather that the cost of living is actively increasing.
