Sundial purchased Alcanna for $1.50 cash and 8.85 Sundial shares for each Alcanna share. Assuming that the cost base is reduced by the $1.50 cash and the balance of the cost base "rolls over" to the Sundial shares, how would I show this?
The 1200 shares of CLIQ became 10620 shares of SNDL. Unless I show the "price" of the CLIQ shares at their original amount, a loss will be shown but that book value should roll over to the SNDL shares. Do you agree?
I think I have it figured out with thanks to you. I have 2 different portfolios set up, one for CAN$ stocks and one for US$ stocks. So, here is what I have done.
US$ Portfolio TransType: SymbolTransferIn, SymbolName:SNDL, Qty: 10620, Price:0.70$, CostBasisOverride: Original cost in Can$ - $1800 ROC and then translated to US$ based on exchange rate on April 1, 2022
Let me know if that looks correct. Thank you so much.
