Company A was acquired by Company B with 1 share of company A = 0.7935 shares of company B and got cash equivalent for fractional shares.

eg - 26 shares of company A gives 26\* 0.7935 = 20.631 Share of company B. Now, I have got 20 shares of company B, cash equivalent ~100$ for 0.631 share and 0 shares of company A.

How to input this kind of transactions?

Similarly to [this question](https://community.mycapitally.com/t/how-to-enter-extra-shares-which-we-get-from-spin-off/141/2), you are doing internal transfers:

1. `Transfer` of `-26` shares of A
2. `Transfer` of `20` shares of B
3. `Transfer` of `100` of USD (on the same Account as A & B)

If you want to visually link these transactions, you can set the same tag on all of them, eg. `M&A/A acquired by B`
