Sep. 30, 2016

All inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost for a substantial portion of U.S. inventories is determined on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. LIFO was used for 32% and 27% of total inventories at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Cost of other inventories is determined by costing methods that approximate a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis.

Inventories were as follows (in millions):



	September 30, 2016			December 31, 2015
Raw materials, work-in-process, and supplies	$	4,335		$	4,005
Finished products	6,823			5,254
Total inventories under FIFO	11,158			9,259
LIFO adjustment	(939		)	(940		)
