How to Record Liability Warrant Fair Value Adjust
Records the periodic mark-to-market adjustment for warrants classified as liabilities due to cash-settlement features or price protection.
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability | Expense | 2,500.00 | - |
| Warrant Liability | Liability | - | 2,500.00 |
