I need some help determining my cost basis after a merger agreement. I recently transferred over my brokerage account to Zecco so I need to come up with these numbers so my profit/loss shows up correctly.

My questions comes from the RIG/GSF merger. At the time of the merger, i owned stock in both companies. I have not been able to figure out the correct cost basis for my current RIG shares.

Here is the merger example from the RIG website:

Here are my original buy orders:

GSF 11 83.17 Buy -921.87
RIG 8 122.95 Buy -990.6

And here are the transactions associated with the actual merger:

RIG Cash in Lieu of Dividend 31.99
RIG Cash in Lieu of Dividend 82.06
GSF# -11 -247.06 REDEMPTION/TENDER OF 11 SHARES OF GSF#
RIG 5 STOCK RECEIVED: 5 SHARES OF RIG
RIG 5 STOCK RECEIVED: 5 SHARES OF RIG
RIG# -8 -264.24 REDEMPTION/TENDER OF 8 SHARES OF RIG#

I now have 10 shares of RIG in my current account.

Any help determining my cost basis would be appreciated.

*bump*

I can't imagine this would be too hard but i've gone completely brain dead trying to figure this out.

Anyone have ideas?
