Great as that adapter is for Wii U owners, itâs even more significant for PC gamers who play Nintendo games on their gaming rigs using the Dolphin GameCube and Wii emulator. A few days after the adapter was released, programmers managed to reverse-engineer it to work on PC. But now the latest builds of Dolphin have native support for the adapter, making GameCube controllers plug-and-play easy. Thanks to Nintendoâs adapter, Dolphin now has perfect 1:1 GameCube controller mapping. To my knowledge, thatâs a first for a PC emulator.
Reinvested Cost Basis. When you reinvest dividends, you buy the stock at a different share price than you originally paid. For example, if you bought a stock at $20 per share and you bought 100 shares, you invested 100 times 20 for a total of $2,000. The cost basis of your investment was $2,000.f you reinvested dividends in a stock before you sold it, you changed your cost basis. In the example, you originally invested $2,000, but you reinvested $200 in money you received from dividends. Your cost basis rose to $2,200.
(You also need to know the cost basis for sales of bonds, options and futures.) If you bought 100 shares of ABC Corporation at $70 a share and paid your broker an $8.95 commission on the transaction, your cost basis for those 100 shares is $7,008.95.rokers are now required to keep better tabs on the costs of your investments. When you sell shares of a stock or mutual fund that have increased in value, you will likely have to pay capital gains tax. And to do that, you'll need to know your cost basis, the price you paid for the investment you're selling.
