While reading the manual *'4.5.3 Fixing Lot Prices',* I came across this
example.
2009/01/01 Shell
Expenses:Gasoline 11 GAL {=$2.299} @ $2.30
Assets:Checking
When I calculate the balance for this example, the Cash account balances
at $-25 and not $-25.29. Is this correct, or am I misunderstanding
something?
I would also appreciate it if someone could explain this paragraph to me.
As I understand it, capital gains or losses are generated at the moment of
sale, not at the moment of purchase:
*This transaction says that you bought 11 gallons priced at $2.299 per*
*gallon at a _cost to you_ of $2.30 per gallon. Ledger auto-generates
abalance posting in this case to Equity:Capital Losses to reflect the
1.1cent difference, which is then balanced by Assets:Checking because
itsamount is null.*
*my ledger version is: Ledger 3.3.2-20230330*
Thank you in advance!!
