Fear not Jack, you are nearly there! The magic number we are looking for (your Cost Base) is: (a) what you paid for the Initial Purchase (b) the cash equivalent value of your two Reinvests I think you know these numbers because you have shown them as "$", and we don't need to know them here

Hi Jack ***Assuming there is no cash component, and this is not a capital gains taxable event, I think that you need to: (a) Create a new Security and a new Account for DFMLX. (b) In a single transaction, reduce the balance of DFMGX to zero, and increase the balance of DFMLX to 410.085. The
