Most U.S. inventories are valued using the last-in, first-out method. These inventories represented approximately 39% and 40% of total inventories at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. If the first-in, first-out method of inventory valuation had been used, inventories would have been $175 million and $182 million higher as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
