Merchandise Inventories |
Merchandise Inventories | Note B – Merchandise Inventories Merchandise inventories include related purchasing, storage and handling costs. Inventory cost has been determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value for domestic inventories and the weighted average cost method stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value for Mexico and Brazil inventories. The Company’s LIFO credit reserve balance decreased to $19.0 million at May 4, 2024 from $59.0 million at August 26, 2023 as a result of net deflation, primarily driven by reduced freight costs. Until the credit reserve balance is exhausted, decreases are recorded as a non-cash benefit to cost of sales and increases are recorded as a non-cash charge to cost of sales. Debit LIFO reserve balances are not recorded as the Company’s policy is not to write up inventory in excess of replacement cost.
