Investing

You received $210 from the exchange ($190 plus $20 worth of stock). Since your basis in the investement was $100, your gain would seem to be $110. The new shares would have a basis of $20, since that is what you included in your gain. Also, the value of the stock you acquired should be set at the market value, not the book value.
