Have you tried doing a purchase and sale using the stock assistant?
That might help you to see where you are going wrong.

That is exactly what I did. I entered the number of shares and then the exact
dollar value (that I’m calling the basis) and it indeed calculated the exact
share price for that day. As I have now redeemed all the unreported
(uncovered) shares, when I sell in the future, the brokerage will calculate the
capital gain the loss/gain utilization (LGUT) method.
I assumed , as I suspect you are thinking, when I enter the initial preexisting
shares in the manner above, it willl take that as the initial buy and assign it
to the cost basis and apply it to the equity opening balance for the fund. I
suspect I am doing something wrong (I don’t know what) when I separate and
enter the capital gain from the sale as per the documented instructions.
Thank you again for your continued help
