Second, from a practical perspective, disaggregation offers a potential solution that is both feasible and cost effective because firms must already track information related to lease options in order to evaluate which options meet the certainty threshold. As such, disaggregation is also consistent with Bonner’s (1999) framework for judgment and decision-making (JDM) research, which emphasizes the importance of examining solutions that can be implemented in practice. In addition, disaggregating optional lease renewal periods from non-cancelable lease periods is consistent with the presentation requirements being considered in the proposed leasing standard and also with a joint project on financial statement presentation that the boards have been considering. As such, our study provides empirical evidence on two current issues on the boards’ agendas and highlights the importance of considering these projects jointly during deliberations.
