LIFO – the last-in, first-out method – applies to major inventory products held at our U.S. domestic locations. The FIFO – the first-in, first-out method – or moving average cost methods apply to the balance of our domestic raw material and product inventories as well as for all material and supply inventories and all foreign inventories. If we used FIFO for all LIFO inventories, our stated inventories would have been higher by $68 million as of June 30, 2016 and $67 million as of December 31, 2015.
