Schedule of Components of Inventories

The components of inventories follow:

 

 
     AS OF DECEMBER 31,  
(MILLIONS OF DOLLARS)    2011      2010  

 

 

Finished goods

     $2,765         $3,665     

Work-in-process

     4,119         3,727     

Raw materials and supplies

     885         883     

 

 

Total inventories(a), (b)

     $7,769         $8,275     

 

 
(a) 

The decrease in total inventories is primarily due to the inventory sold during 2011 that was acquired from Wyeth and had been recorded at fair value, partially offset by the acquisition of King (see Note 2B. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Collaborative Arrangements and Equity-Method Investments: Acquisition of King Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) and the impact of foreign exchange.

(b) 

Certain amounts of inventories are in excess of one year’s supply. There are no recoverability issues associated with those amounts.
