Virtually every one I've seen is axial. A primary trunk with minor branches.

Seriously? Surely you thought about the fact that heat rises and knew that this kind of question is a gimme...

I can barely remember anything I read from kaplan or ballast 3+ weeks ago. Coming here and fixing inconsistencies in her notes helps me tremendously. So here's another one. According to Caronline's notes, which are mostly Kaplan material, general taxes would be the correct answer to the ncarb 3.1 question. Ncarb says general obligations are. The two seem pretty interchangeable since general obligation bonds come from the money from general taxes. So the ncarb question is trash?

My understanding of this is Labor Taxes would not be thought of as Overhead because their "quantity" is directly tied to the quantity of labor. The overall cost of labor taxes increases at the same rate that the overall cost of labor would be increasing. I've typically seen treated the same as employee benefits - packaged into the employee's "fully burdened" hourly rate.

Of course there's a tax component to labor costs. There is no debate about that.
I think state and local taxes fall under G&A (General & Administrative) costs, which become part of the fully burdened rate along with fringe and overhead expenses. Not sure about federal, though. But I assume it is also considered an indirect cost.
I doubt this level of detail will be on the test. They mainly test for your knowledge of concepts, like the difference between a direct cost and an indirect cost.
