Hi,

I have a question regarding the price for mutual fund and stock, that show
up on different reports like balance sheet.

There are three options
1) Weighted Average
2) Nearest in time
3) Most recent

I have two entries in the mutual fund

1) 117.428 unit @ 53.98       = 6338.76
2) 135.725 unit @ 191.628   = 26008.77

When I select Weighted average I see total of

253.153 unit and total amount as 29286.59

But when I select "nearest in time" or "most recent" I see

total amount as 48511.20

Yes I have two entry in the price editor one for 53.98 (dated 04/19/2004)
and another for 191.628 (dated 01/11/2008)

The question I have is how is the weighted average calculated
and how can I get the total amount as  32347.53 (6338.76 + 26008.77)

Sorry, if it has been answered already, as I couldn't find it in the mailing
list.

Thanks,
Yogesh
