I have never been able to get a satisdactory hard-copy output of reports directly from Gnucash (running under Ubuntu). In GnuCash 2.19 I was at least able to  export to HTML which gave me more control over the printing process, and even allowed me to edit the HTML if needed and had the added b

Hello, xboxboy.magela: You ask how to account for the $2 that has "vanished". This jumps out at me as the core of the problem: Dividend (franked): Dividend reinvestment account $10 Buy: stock purchase: 1 unit $8, total buy $8 If your dividend after franking is $10, and you buy stock for $8, t

If they take $10 for these shares then I would say your cost of share is $10, not $8. The cost of share is what you pay for it, no matter what absurd way the cost is calculated, so the money is not vanishing per se. In this case you paid $10. You could then remove it from the price database since y

Are you sure the company isn't offering you a fractional share for the remaining $2 , i.e. you are actually receiving 1.25 shares? Some brokers offer fractional share purchase where the share is registered in the broker's name but the investor get the benefit of the fractional share. It may possib

So, you get $10 dividend plus a $2 franking credit. The only amount you can do anything with is that $10, the franking credit only applies at tax time. Now are you talking about a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) situation where your dividend gets reinvested in new shares of the same company? If t
