compared with $ 6.2 billion in 2013 . operating profits in 2015 were significantly higher than in both 2014 and 2013 . excluding facility closure costs , impairment costs and other special items , operating profits in 2015 were 3% ( 3 % ) lower than in 2014 and 4% ( 4 % ) higher than in 2013 . benefits from lower input costs ( $ 18 million ) , lower costs associated with the closure of our courtland , alabama mill ( $ 44 million ) and favorable foreign exchange ( $ 33 million ) were offset by lower average sales price realizations and mix ( $ 52 million ) , lower sales volumes ( $ 16 million ) , higher operating costs ( $ 18 million ) and higher planned maintenance downtime costs ( $ 26 million ) . in addition , operating profits in 2014 include special items costs of $ 554 million associated with the closure of our courtland , alabama mill . during 2013 , the company accelerated depreciation for certain courtland assets , and evaluated certain other assets for possible alternative uses by one of our other businesses . the net book value of these assets at december 31 , 2013 was approximately $ 470 million . in the first quarter of 2014 , we completed our evaluation and concluded that there were no alternative uses for these assets . we recognized approximately $ 464 million of accelerated depreciation related to these assets in 2014 . operating profits in 2014 also include a charge of $ 32 million associated with a foreign tax amnesty program , and a gain of $ 20 million for the resolution of a legal contingency in india , while operating profits in 2013 included costs of $ 118 million associated with the announced closure of our courtland , alabama mill and a $ 123 million impairment charge associated with goodwill and a trade name intangible asset

2015 , $ 2.1 billion in 2014 and $ 2.6 billion in 2013 . operating profits in 2015 were $ 179 million compared with a loss of $ 398 million ( a gain of $ 156 million excluding costs associated with the shutdown of our courtland , alabama mill ) in 2014 and a gain of $ 36 million ( $ 154 million excluding costs associated with the courtland mill shutdown ) in 2013 . sales volumes in 2015 decreased compared with 2014 primarily due to the closure of our courtland mill in 2014 . shipments to the domestic market increased , but export shipments declined . average sales price realizations decreased , primarily in the domestic market . input costs were lower , mainly for energy . planned maintenance downtime costs were $ 12 million higher in 2015 . operating profits in 2014 were negatively impacted by costs associated with the shutdown of our courtland , alabama mill . entering the first quarter of 2016 , sales volumes are expected to be up slightly compared with the fourth quarter of 2015 . average sales margins should be about flat reflecting lower average sales price realizations offset by a more favorable product mix . input costs are expected to be stable . planned maintenance downtime costs are expected to be about $ 14 million lower with an outage scheduled in the 2016 first quarter at our georgetown mill compared with outages at our eastover and riverdale mills in the 2015 fourth quarter . in january 2015 , the united steelworkers , domtar corporation , packaging corporation of america , finch paper llc and p . h . glatfelter company ( the petitioners ) filed an anti-dumping petition before the united states international trade commission ( itc ) and the united states department of commerce ( doc ) alleging that paper producers in china , indonesia , australia , brazil , and portugal are selling uncoated free sheet paper in sheet form ( the products ) in violation of international trade rules . the petitioners also filed a countervailing-duties petition with these agencies regarding imports of the products from china and indonesia . in january 2016 , the doc announced its final countervailing duty rates on imports of the products to the united states from certain producers from china and indonesia . also , in january 2016 , the doc announced its final anti-dumping duty rates on imports of the products to the united states from certain producers from australia , brazil , china , indonesia and portugal . in february 2016 , the itc concluded its anti- dumping and countervailing duties investigations and made a final determination that the u.s . market had been injured by imports of the products . accordingly , the doc 2019s previously announced countervailing duty rates and anti-dumping duty rates will be in effect for a minimum of five years . we do not believe the impact of these rates will have a material , adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements . brazilian papers net sales for 2015 were $ 878 million compared with $ 1.1 billion in 2014 and $ 1.1 billion in 2013 . operating profits for 2015 were $ 186 million compared with $ 177 million ( $ 209 million excluding costs associated with a tax amnesty program ) in 2014 and $ 210 million in 2013 . sales volumes in 2015 were lower compared with 2014 reflecting weak economic conditions and the absence of 2014 one-time events . average sales price realizations improved for domestic uncoated freesheet paper due to the realization of price increases implemented in the second half of 2015 . margins were unfavorably affected by an increased proportion of sales to the lower-margin export markets . raw material costs increased for energy and wood . operating costs were higher than in 2014 , while planned maintenance downtime costs were $ 4 million lower. .

note 10 loan sales and securitizations loan sales we sell residential and commercial mortgage loans in loan securitization transactions sponsored by government national mortgage association ( gnma ) , fnma , and fhlmc and in certain instances to other third-party investors . gnma , fnma , and the fhlmc securitize our transferred loans into mortgage-backed securities for sale into the secondary market . generally , we do not retain any interest in the transferred loans other than mortgage servicing rights . refer to note 9 goodwill and other intangible assets for further discussion on our residential and commercial mortgage servicing rights assets . during 2009 , residential and commercial mortgage loans sold totaled $ 19.8 billion and $ 5.7 billion , respectively . during 2008 , commercial mortgage loans sold totaled $ 3.1 billion . there were no residential mortgage loans sales in 2008 as these activities were obtained through our acquisition of national city . our continuing involvement in these loan sales consists primarily of servicing and limited repurchase obligations for loan and servicer breaches in representations and warranties . generally , we hold a cleanup call repurchase option for loans sold with servicing retained to the other third-party investors . in certain circumstances as servicer , we advance principal and interest payments to the gses and other third-party investors and also may make collateral protection advances . our risk of loss in these servicing advances has historically been minimal . we maintain a liability for estimated losses on loans expected to be repurchased as a result of breaches in loan and servicer representations and warranties . we have also entered into recourse arrangements associated with commercial mortgage loans sold to fnma and fhlmc . refer to note 25 commitments and guarantees for further discussion on our repurchase liability and recourse arrangements . our maximum exposure to loss in our loan sale activities is limited to these repurchase and recourse obligations . in addition , for certain loans transferred in the gnma and fnma transactions , we hold an option to repurchase individual delinquent loans that meet certain criteria . without prior authorization from these gses , this option gives pnc the ability to repurchase the delinquent loan at par . under gaap , once we have the unilateral ability to repurchase the delinquent loan , effective control over the loan has been regained and we are required to recognize the loan and a corresponding repurchase liability on the balance sheet regardless of our intent to repurchase the loan . at december 31 , 2009 and december 31 , 2008 , the balance of our repurchase option asset and liability totaled $ 577 million and $ 476 million , respectively . securitizations in securitizations , loans are typically transferred to a qualifying special purpose entity ( qspe ) that is demonstrably distinct from the transferor to transfer the risk from our consolidated balance sheet . a qspe is a bankruptcy-remote trust allowed to perform only certain passive activities . in addition , these entities are self-liquidating and in certain instances are structured as real estate mortgage investment conduits ( remics ) for tax purposes . the qspes are generally financed by issuing certificates for various levels of senior and subordinated tranches . qspes are exempt from consolidation provided certain conditions are met . our securitization activities were primarily obtained through our acquisition of national city . credit card receivables , automobile , and residential mortgage loans were securitized through qspes sponsored by ncb . these qspes were financed primarily through the issuance and sale of beneficial interests to independent third parties and were not consolidated on our balance sheet at december 31 , 2009 or december 31 , 2008 . however , see note 1 accounting policies regarding accounting guidance that impacts the accounting for these qspes effective january 1 , 2010 . qualitative and quantitative information about the securitization qspes and our retained interests in these transactions follow . the following summarizes the assets and liabilities of the securitization qspes associated with securitization transactions that were outstanding at december 31 , 2009. . <table

note 10 loan sales and securitizations loan sales we sell residential and commercial mortgage loans in loan securitization transactions sponsored by government national mortgage association ( gnma ) , fnma , and fhlmc and in certain instances to other third-party investors . gnma , fnma , and the fhlmc securitize our transferred loans into mortgage-backed securities for sale into the secondary market . generally , we do not retain any interest in the transferred loans other than mortgage servicing rights . refer to note 9 goodwill and other intangible assets for further discussion on our residential and commercial mortgage servicing rights assets . during 2009 , residential and commercial mortgage loans sold totaled $ 19.8 billion and $ 5.7 billion , respectively . during 2008 , commercial mortgage loans sold totaled $ 3.1 billion . there were no residential mortgage loans sales in 2008 as these activities were obtained through our acquisition of national city . our continuing involvement in these loan sales consists primarily of servicing and limited repurchase obligations for loan and servicer breaches in representations and warranties . generally , we hold a cleanup call repurchase option for loans sold with servicing retained to the other third-party investors . in certain circumstances as servicer , we advance principal and interest payments to the gses and other third-party investors and also may make collateral protection advances . our risk of loss in these servicing advances has historically been minimal . we maintain a liability for estimated losses on loans expected to be repurchased as a result of breaches in loan and servicer representations and warranties . we have also entered into recourse arrangements associated with commercial mortgage loans sold to fnma and fhlmc . refer to note 25 commitments and guarantees for further discussion on our repurchase liability and recourse arrangements . our maximum exposure to loss in our loan sale activities is limited to these repurchase and recourse obligations . in addition , for certain loans transferred in the gnma and fnma transactions , we hold an option to repurchase individual delinquent loans that meet certain criteria . without prior authorization from these gses , this option gives pnc the ability to repurchase the delinquent loan at par . under gaap , once we have the unilateral ability to repurchase the delinquent loan , effective control over the loan has been regained and we are required to recognize the loan and a corresponding repurchase liability on the balance sheet regardless of our intent to repurchase the loan . at december 31 , 2009 and december 31 , 2008 , the balance of our repurchase option asset and liability totaled $ 577 million and $ 476 million , respectively . securitizations in securitizations , loans are typically transferred to a qualifying special purpose entity ( qspe ) that is demonstrably distinct from the transferor to transfer the risk from our consolidated balance sheet . a qspe is a bankruptcy-remote trust allowed to perform only certain passive activities . in addition , these entities are self-liquidating and in certain instances are structured as real estate mortgage investment conduits ( remics ) for tax purposes . the qspes are generally financed by issuing certificates for various levels of senior and subordinated tranches . qspes are exempt from consolidation provided certain conditions are met . our securitization activities were primarily obtained through our acquisition of national city . credit card receivables , automobile , and residential mortgage loans were securitized through qspes sponsored by ncb . these qspes were financed primarily through the issuance and sale of beneficial interests to independent third parties and were not consolidated on our balance sheet at december 31 , 2009 or december 31 , 2008 . however , see note 1 accounting policies regarding accounting guidance that impacts the accounting for these qspes effective january 1 , 2010 . qualitative and quantitative information about the securitization qspes and our retained interests in these transactions follow . the following summarizes the assets and liabilities of the securitization qspes associated with securitization transactions that were outstanding at december 31 , 2009. . <table

fixed income assets and equity assets , partially offset by depreciation in client assets , primarily in equity assets . if market-making or investment banking activity levels decline , or assets under supervision decline , or asset prices continue to decline , net revenues would likely be negatively impacted . see 201csegment operating results 201d for further information about the operating

table of contents research and development expense ( 201cr&d 201d ) r&d expense increased 34% ( 34 % ) or $ 449 million to $ 1.8 billion in 2010 compared to 2009 . this increase was due primarily to an increase in headcount and related expenses in the current year to support expanded r&d activities . also contributing to this increase in r&d expense in 2010 was the capitalization in 2009 of software development costs of $ 71 million related to mac os x snow leopard . although total r&d expense increased 34% ( 34 % ) during 2010 , it declined as a percentage of net sales given the 52% ( 52 % ) year-over-year increase in net sales in 2010 . the company continues to believe that focused investments in r&d are critical to its future growth and competitive position in the marketplace and are directly related to timely development of new and enhanced products that are central to the company 2019s core business strategy . as such , the company expects to make further investments in r&d to remain competitive . r&d expense increased 20% ( 20 % ) or $ 224 million to $ 1.3 billion in 2009 compared to 2008 . this increase was due primarily to an increase in headcount in 2009 to support expanded r&d activities and higher stock-based compensation expenses . additionally , $ 71 million of software development costs were capitalized related to mac os x snow leopard and excluded from r&d expense during 2009 , compared to $ 11 million of software development costs capitalized during 2008 . although total r&d expense increased 20% ( 20 % ) during 2009 , it remained relatively flat as a percentage of net sales given the 14% ( 14 % ) increase in revenue in 2009 . selling , general and administrative expense ( 201csg&a 201d ) sg&a expense increased $ 1.4 billion or 33% ( 33 % ) to $ 5.5 billion in 2010 compared to 2009 . this increase was due primarily to the company 2019s continued expansion of its retail segment , higher spending on marketing and advertising programs , increased stock-based compensation expenses and variable costs associated with the overall growth of the company 2019s net sales . sg&a expenses increased $ 388 million or 10% ( 10 % ) to $ 4.1 billion in 2009 compared to 2008 . this increase was due primarily to the company 2019s continued expansion of its retail segment in both domestic and international markets , higher stock-based compensation expense and higher spending on marketing and advertising . other income and expense other income and expense for the three years ended september 25 , 2010 , are as follows ( in millions ) : total other income and expense decreased $ 171 million or 52% ( 52 % ) to $ 155 million during 2010 compared to $ 326 million and $ 620 million in 2009 and 2008 , respectively . the overall decrease in other income and expense is attributable to the significant declines in interest rates on a year- over-year basis , partially offset by the company 2019s higher cash , cash equivalents and marketable securities balances . the weighted average interest rate earned by the company on its cash , cash equivalents and marketable securities was 0.75% ( 0.75 % ) , 1.43% ( 1.43 % ) and 3.44% ( 3.44 % ) during 2010 , 2009 and 2008 , respectively . additionally the company incurred higher premium expenses on its foreign exchange option contracts , which further reduced the total other income and expense . during 2010 , 2009 and 2008 , the company had no debt outstanding and accordingly did not incur any related interest expense . provision for income taxes the company 2019s effective tax rates were 24% ( 24 % ) , 32% ( 32 % ) and 32% ( 32 % ) for 2010 , 2009 and 2008 , respectively . the company 2019s effective rates for these periods differ from the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% ( 35 % ) due . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>-</td><td>2010</td><td>2009</td><td>2008</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>interest income</td><td>$ 311</td><td>$ 407</td><td>$ 653</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>other income ( expense ) net</td><td>-156 ( 156 )</td><td>-81 ( 81 )</td><td>-33 ( 33 )</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>total other income and expense</td><td>$ 155</td><td>$ 326</td><td>$ 620</td></tr></table> .

single-seller and other commercial paper conduits sponsored by third parties . the multi-seller commercial paper conduits are designed to provide the company 2019s customers access to low-cost funding in the commercial paper markets . the conduits purchase assets from or provide financing facilities to customers and are funded by issuing commercial paper to third-party investors . the conduits generally do not purchase assets originated by the company . the funding of the conduit is facilitated by the liquidity support and credit enhancements provided by the company and by certain third parties . as administrator to the conduits , the company is responsible for selecting and structuring of assets purchased or financed by the conduits , making decisions regarding the funding of the conduits , including determining the tenor and other features of the commercial paper issued , monitoring the quality and performance of the conduits 2019 assets , and facilitating the operations and cash flows of the conduits . in return , the company earns structuring fees from clients for individual transactions and earns an administration fee from the conduit , which is equal to the income from client program and liquidity fees of the conduit after payment of interest costs and other fees . this administration fee is fairly stable , since most risks and rewards of the underlying assets are passed back to the customers and , once the asset pricing is negotiated , most ongoing income , costs and fees are relatively stable as a percentage of the conduit 2019s size . the conduits administered by the company do not generally invest in liquid securities that are formally rated by third parties . the assets are privately negotiated and structured transactions that are designed to be held by the conduit , rather than actively traded and sold . the yield earned by the conduit on each asset is generally tied to the rate on the commercial paper issued by the conduit , thus passing interest rate risk to the client . each asset purchased by the conduit is structured with transaction-specific credit enhancement features provided by the third-party seller , including over- collateralization , cash and excess spread collateral accounts , direct recourse or third-party guarantees . these credit enhancements are sized with the objective of approximating a credit rating of a or above , based on the company 2019s internal risk ratings . substantially all of the funding of the conduits is in the form of short- term commercial paper . as of december 31 , 2008 , the weighted average life of the commercial paper issued was approximately 37 days . in addition , the conduits have issued subordinate loss notes and equity with a notional amount of approximately $ 80 million and varying remaining tenors ranging from six months to seven years . the primary credit enhancement provided to the conduit investors is in the form of transaction-specific credit enhancement described above . in addition , there are two additional forms of credit enhancement that protect the commercial paper investors from defaulting assets . first , the subordinate loss notes issued by each conduit absorb any credit losses up to their full notional amount . it is expected that the subordinate loss notes issued by each conduit are sufficient to absorb a majority of the expected losses from each conduit , thereby making the single investor in the subordinate loss note the primary beneficiary under fin 46 ( r ) . second , each conduit has obtained a letter of credit from the company , which is generally 8-10% ( 8-10 % ) of the conduit 2019s assets . the letters of credit provided by the company total approximately $ 5.8 billion and are included in the company 2019s maximum exposure to loss . the net result across all multi-seller conduits administered by the company is that , in the event of defaulted assets in excess of the transaction-specific credit enhancement described above , any losses in each conduit are allocated in the following order : 2022 subordinate loss note holders 2022 the company 2022 the commercial paper investors the company , along with third parties , also provides the conduits with two forms of liquidity agreements that are used to provide funding to the conduits in the event of a market disruption , among other events .

non-defaulted eligible receivables from the conduit at par . any assets purchased under the apa are subject to increased pricing . the apa is not designed to provide credit support to the conduit , as it generally does not permit the purchase of defaulted or impaired assets and generally reprices the assets purchased to consider potential increased credit risk . the apa covers all assets in the conduits and is considered in the company 2019s maximum exposure to loss . in addition , the company provides the conduits with program-wide liquidity in the form of short-term lending commitments . under these commitments , the company has agreed to lend to the conduits in the event of a short-term disruption in the commercial paper market , subject to specified conditions . the total notional
