Mutual Fund Redistribution

[david.carlson.417]

When you received the dividend, it was used to purchase additional fractional shares, which then increase the basis by that amount.  Thus the income does increase the basis.  If you took the dividend as cash, the basis would not increase.  What is your question?

Subject: Mutual Fund Redistribution 

I am having difficulty figuring out how to treat a mutual fund
redistribution. I have used the example given for DRIPS in the gnucash user
guide, but this leads to errors in the Advanced Portfolio Basis calculation. 
example
I receive a distribution/interest reinvestment of 175.00 from my Fund. I
enter the transaction in keeping with the user guide DRIP example and now in
advanced portfolio I have 175.00 added to income and to basis. Is this
correct behaviour?
