INVENTORIES |
INVENTORIES | 16. INVENTORIES A majority of inventory owned by Deere & Company and its U.S. equipment subsidiaries are valued at cost, on the “last-in, first-out” (LIFO) basis. Remaining inventories are generally valued at the lower of cost, on the “first-in, first-out” (FIFO) basis, or net realizable value. The value of gross inventories on the LIFO basis at November 3, 2019 and October 28, 2018 represented 55 percent and 54 percent, respectively, of worldwide gross inventories at FIFO value. The pretax favorable income effect from the liquidation of LIFO inventory during 2019 was $3 million. If all inventories had been valued on a FIFO basis, estimated inventories by major classification at November 3, 2019 and October 28, 2018 in millions of dollars would have been as follows: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ |  | 2019 |  | 2018 |
Raw materials and supplies |  | $ | 2,285 |  | $ | 2,233 |
Work-in-process | ​ |  | 747 | ​ |  | 776 | ​
Finished goods and parts | ​ |  | 4,613 | ​ |  | 4,777 | ​
Total FIFO value | ​ |  | 7,645 | ​ |  | 7,786 | ​
Less adjustment to LIFO value | ​ |  | 1,670 | ​ |  | 1,637 | ​
Inventories |  | $ | 5,975 |  | $ | 6,149 | ​
