Inventories valued on the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method were approximately 45 percent and 50 percent of total inventories at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. During 2020, a $13 million LIFO decrement was recognized due to inventory reduction actions, resulting in an increase to "Cost of sales" in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive Income and Retained Earnings and a decrease to "Inventories" in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
