The valuation of LIFO inventories is made at the end of each year based on inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Actual year-end inventory levels and costs may differ from interim LIFO inventory valuations. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, approximately 35% and 36% of total inventories, respectively, were valued using the LIFO method. The excess of current cost over LIFO cost was $75,581 at December 31, 2020 and $75,292 at December 31, 2019.
