1_800_Packouts Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
For all arrangements where it is determined that a lease exists, the related ROU assets and lease liabilities are recorded as either operating or finance leases. At inception or modification, the Company calculates the present value of lease payments using the implicit rate determined from the contract or the Company's incremental borrowing rate applicable to the lease, which is determined by estimating what it would cost the Company to borrow a collateralized amount equal to the total lease payments over the lease term based on the contractual terms of the lease and the location of the leased asset. The present value is adjusted for prepaid lease payments, lease incentives, and initial direct costs. Lease expense is recognized for these leases on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Non-lease costs, such as common-area maintenance costs, taxes, and insurance, are not included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term.
