+\f0\fs28 \cf0 Whenever a commodity is purchased using a different commodity (such as\
+a share of common stock using dollars), it establishes a price for\

+any given time.  Such price transactions might look like those below:\

+To enable pricing reports, use one of the commodity reporting options.}
