Is cost basis averaged across accounts in Canadian version of Money 2005? If
so, are there any workarounds? I'm using Money 2004 and wish to avoid
cumbersome side calcs for IRR.

Check to see if you have any other holdings of this fund in a
different account in that Money file. Canada is a special case in
Money in that it computes the average across accounts. Canada has
different basis rules. Money is attempting to follow those rules,
altho it may be averaging too many together in some situations.

One way to see the transactions for that fund are to go to
Investment Transactions for that fund by right-clicking a reference
to that fund and go to the Investment Transactions.

I don't get how money calculates average cost. Check this out:

I purchased 3000 shares of ABCD for 0.34, then purchased 3000 more shares
for 0.335. Each purchase is 29.00 commission (Canada). Money says my
average share price is 0.322.

My math says that my average cost should be .347

I'd appreciate any input on this matter.
