In reviewing the guide I have so far been unsuccessful in getting an
appropriate double entry outcome.
The situation - Aligent was spun off from Hewlett Packard with 305.12
shares with a basis of $1490.54. O.12 shares with a basis of $0.59 were
sold for $9.24 which was transferred to the broker cash account,
resulting in a capital gain of $8.65. The basis for the 305 remaining
Agilent shares is therefore reduced by $0.59 to $1489.96.
It is my understanding that I need to credit Income:CapitalGain by
$8.65; for the Brkr:Agilent account - decrease the shares by 0.12 and
credit an amount of $0.59. The other two entries need for double entry
balance have eluded me.
Thank you for your assistance,
nvsoar
