The two check boxes are for the Modified Total Direct Cost and Multiple Object Codes. MTDC box is checked if the object is included in the calculation of indirect cost using the Modified Total Direct Cost basis.

When this box is checked the user will need to investigate which object code may be appropriate for their needs.
