Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Significant Accounting Policies Except for the changes below and the impairments disclosed in Notes D and E, no material changes have been made to the company’s significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 7, 2019, for the year ended December 31, 2018. Leases The company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception based on whether it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset. Substantially all of the company’s leases are classified as operating leases. The company has determined that operating lease right-of-use assets will be recorded to “Other assets” and lease liabilities will be recorded to “Other liabilities” and “Accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance sheets. Lease expense will be recorded to “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations. Operating lease payments will be recorded to “Operating cash flows” in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term starting on the commencement date. The company generally is not able to determine the rate implicit in its leases and, as such, will apply an incremental borrowing rate based on the company’s cost of borrowing for the relevant terms of each lease. Lease expense for minimum lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease terms may include an option to extend or terminate a lease if it is reasonably certain that the company will exercise such options. The company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components, and also has elected not to record a right-of-use asset or lease liability for leases which, at inception, have a term of twelve months or less. Variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
