12. Income Taxes The effective tax rate was 30.4% and 32.9% for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2016 and December 26, 2015, respectively.  The 2.5 percentage point decrease in the effective tax rate represents a decrease in tax expense as a percentage of book income when compared to the same period last year.  The major contributor to this decrease is with the federal credits for R & D, WOTC and fuel.  These credits are largely fixed and with the significant decrease in pre-tax earnings for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, these credits are a larger percentage of pre-tax earnings in comparison to the nine months ended December 26, 2015.
