The document discusses methods for calculating the adjusted net asset value and cost basis of stocks when shares cannot be properly identified. It provides an example of calculating capital gains using FIFO (first-in, first-out) when shares of a stock were purchased at different prices and later sold. The rules specify using FIFO, moving average, or allocating costs of original shares to stock dividends received.

Unidentifiable Shares of Stocks
If the shares of stocks cannot be properly identified, the following
rules are applicable to compute the cost of the shares of stocks:
1. The cost to be assigned shall be on the basis of the first-In,
first-Out (FIFO) method; 2. If the seller maintains the books of accounts where every transaction of a particular stock is recorded, the moving average is to be used; and 3. If the stock dividends are received, an allocated cost of the original cost shall be assigned to the said stock dividends.
Illustration 1 - Without stock dividends
Assume the following investment transactions in the books of
accounts of Sara Lee in the common shares of stock of PNB:
October 20, 200A Purchased 50 shares at P120 per share
May 10, 200B Purchased 50 shares at P140 per share September 3, 200B Sold 75 shares directly to a buyer at P150 per share
FIFO Method. If the FIFO method were used, the computation of
capital gain on sale of investment in stock would be
Selling price (P150 x 75) P11,250
Less: Cost of shares sold: October purchase (P120 x 50 shares) P6,000 May purchase (P140 x 25 shares) 3,500 9,500 Capital gain on sale of investment in stocks P1,750
