Tellabs Acquisition of Advanced Fibre
HelpRegister |
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. --JB |
