Inventory Disclosure [Abstract] |
Inventories | Inventories We value some of our consolidated inventories, including most of our U.S. inventories, at the lower of cost, using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, or market value. If the LIFO method had not been used, inventories at current cost would have been $600 million higher than reported as of April 30, 2025, and $628 million higher than reported as of July 31, 2025. Changes in the LIFO valuation reserve for interim periods are based on an allocation of the projected change for the entire fiscal year, recognized proportionately over the remainder of the fiscal year.
