Income Taxes
 
Income taxes were accrued at an estimated effective tax rate of 16% and 34% in the first quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from that computed at the federal statutory rate of 35% principally because of the effect of foreign and state income taxes, tax credits, deductions for domestic production activities and material discrete tax benefits related to the impact of changes in estimates of tax reserves as a result of the favorable conclusion of recent federal and state examinations.
