Tellabs Acquisition of Advanced Fibre
I need help on how to do the accounting on an acquisiiton
with both a share and cash buyout.

On 12-2-2004, Tellabs acquired Advanced Fibre Communications
by paying $12 a share cash and issuing .504 TLAB shares for
each AFCI share. Since our club owned 25 shares of AFCI, we
ended up with $300 in cash and 12 shares of TLAB.
Ameritrade also charged us $20 for a REORGANIZAION FEE,
which I assume can be expensed somewhere in the BIVIO
transaction (?).

Under the ACFI investment entry in BIVIO, I tried doing a
MERGER transaction, but could not figure how to get the $300
cash into the function-- there were no fractional shares in
the accounting provided by Ameritrade:

12-02-2004 Buy or Sell Security SELL 25.000 SHARES @ 12.00
300.00

12-02-2004 Miscellaneous Corporate Action MANDATORY REORG
FEE -20.00

12-02-2004 Receive Stocks In REORG - .504:1 EXCHANGE
12/02/04 TO TELLABS INC 879664100 -0.00

If I sell the ACFI stock first (before the MERGE), there are
no shares left for the MERGE activity.

Thanks for the assistance.
