while making payment to vendor through shares if shares comes in decimal then how we will balance the journal entry or what the entry should be passed
Number of shares issued cannot be in fraction. In case, the total number of shares appears in fraction (as is the case mentioned below), then the fractional part of the shares is to be paid in cash. For example, a company purchased asset worth Rs 1,10,000 from a vendor and purchase consideration was settled by issuing shares of Rs 10 each at Rs 2 premium.
In this case, the number of share amounts to be 9166.66 , therefore, 9166 number of shares will be issued to the vendor and the remaining balance of 0.66 will be paid either in cash or through bank. The following Journal entry will record the effect of the above transaction.
