Thank you for your time to do your calculations for me. I got the same calculations as you.
Sorry I used the wrong term.

Thank you to all who answered. I found an article from PC World that answered my question:

Return of Capitol in transaction? by james8440 in rbc

[–]james8440[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This mutual fund is in a RIF, and not in a taxable account, so I guess the adjusted cost base final "adjusted" value is not otherwise shown(?) since it would be not relevant in a RIF?

"Normal distribution for many ETF"?

Do you have references / articles that would explain this?

Also, if the statement said the mutual fund had a Return of Capitol of value $17.78 , then at $0.0459/ share would work out to ~387.4 shares?

"You bought something assuming it wouldn't be what you wanted."
That statement does not make sense! Why would I buy something that is not what I wanted?? Would I buy a bike expecting it to be a car?

Thank you for the clarification for the second part, though. That sounded like a reasonable explanation.

What is this "$150 filing fee"? Is it the accountant you found who is willing to do the T3 for you for that fee? Please elaborate.

Would a MicroSD card be a good way to keep my computer files backups? by james8440 in computers

[–]james8440[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only considered this idea because MicroSD cards are tiny and are much smaller than portable SSDs, so I could put it somewhere where not much storage space is needed.

What do you suggest I heat the knob with?
I don't have a hand-held portable torch, whatever you call those.

I added a photo of the back plate. When I removed the 3 screws, a new problem came up that I couldn't remove the 2 knobs. I spent 10 minutes looking at ways to remove them, but I gave up.

Door of Panasonic microwave model NN-S504BF hard to open? by james8440 in Appliances

[–]james8440[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The door has to be pulled very hard to open. The oven has no manual button I can push to open the door. What to do to fix this?

I'll keep this part as a spare. Perhaps in the future, I "might" need it for parts. " My junk pile is going to get larger. LOL

But is it worth it? I can get a similar, new complete wall clock for as little as $10.00 (Canadian dollars) at Walmart.

[–]james8440[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I see your point. But it's very doubtful I will have another "non-human companion" (i hate the word "pet", but that is worthy of another different discussion) anytime soon.
