Weighted-Average Assumptions | The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used in the option pricing model for the 2019, 2018 and 2017 stock option grants.

Expected stock price volatility is generally based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock for a period approximating the expected life. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s most recent annual dividend rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with a term equal to the expected life. Weighted-average assumptions
| 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2017 |
Expected dividend yield | 2.7 | % | 2.6 | % | 3.1 | %
Expected stock price volatility | 18.9 | % | 18.7 | % | 18.4 | %
Risk-free interest rate | 2.5 | % | 2.7 | % | 2.2 | %
