You need to know how the cash is treated in this case, and

tries to explain it.

In my quick attempt to understand it, here is my best guess:

1. do a 1:2 split of BAC. When you do the split, Money will probably
ask if you want to maintain the fractional share. Say no, and tell
Money that you get 46.62010 per share for the fraction.


2. Rename BAC to MNBA, and change the symbol. Add a comment to the
security recording the event.

3. Do a return of capital from MNBA for $134.92-25= $109.92. This
will reduce your basis and account for the cash.


I am not sure this is the proper interpretation and implementation.

I've a merger that the wizard doesn't completely handle. BAC & MBNA merged.
BAC gave 1:2 shares + some cash. They paid CASH-LIEU for fractional shares.
Thus I have the following activity on my statement which I'm trying to record
in Money.
Before MBNA - 32.7068 shares

Now 1/3/06 BAC SHRS rec'd through merger = 16
1/3/06 MBNA Fee = $25
1/3/06 MBNA Merger = (32.7068) = $134.92 (I think this is the
cash part of the merger.
1/9/06 BAC CIL On 0.38284 [at] 46.62010 = $17.85 (I think this is payout
of 1/2 the fractional share left after the 1:2 stock swap)

I have NO CLUE how to properly record this in Money 06. Please advise.
