Default Selling a Mutual Fund

I have a brokerage account with Schwab containing positions in about 15 mutual funds. All are set to reinvest dividends, and I have never sold any in the 13 years I've had the account.

I am at a point where I'd like to sell Schwab Total Bond Market Index fund that I've held for 10 years. I am doing this to rebalance my portfolio more into stock funds. I have tabulated all of the 10 years worth of transactions into a spreadsheet. Most are monthly dividends reinvested, plus two cash purchases: $1,500 to open the fund in Jan '98 and $ 700 in Aug '01

I have two questions:
1. How can I determine if the fund has made money for me over the time I've owned it ?
2. How would I determine gain/loss to be used on Schedule D once tax time comes next year ?
