Inventories
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. In the United States, we manufacture certain finished products and parts inventories for drill bits, completion products, bulk materials, and other tools that are recorded using the last-in, first-out method, which totaled $184 million as of June 30, 2014 and $157 million as of December 31, 2013. If the average cost method had been used, total inventories would have been $36 million higher than reported as of June 30, 2014 and $35 million higher than reported as of December 31, 2013. The cost of the remaining inventory was recorded on the average cost method. Inventories consisted of the following:
