Calcium and Dairy. Foods classified by the USDA as dairy products supply calcium to the diet. Calcium is stored in your bones, which makes them dense. Too little calcium in your diet can increase your risk of developing low bone density and fractures.
For example, say that your traditional IRA has a cost basis of $30,000 and is worth $100,000 when you take a $10,000 withdrawal. That means 30 percent of the withdrawal comes out of your cost basis and is tax-free; 70 percent comes from the remainder of the account and is taxable.
You can calculate you cost basis per share in two ways: First, you can take the original investment amount ($10,000) and divide it by the new amount of shares you hold (2,000 shares) to arrive at the new per share cost basis ($5 $10,000/2,000).: The cost basis of any investment is the original value of an asset adjusted for stock splits, dividends and capital distributions. It is used to calculate the capital gain or loss on an investment for tax purposes.
