INVENTORIES
The Company used the LIFO method to value inventories of $53.2 million at December 30, 2017 and $66.2 million at December 31, 2016. During fiscal 2017, a reduction in inventory quantities resulted in a liquidation of applicable LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower costs in prior years. This LIFO liquidation decreased cost of goods sold by $6.0 million. If the FIFO method had been used, inventories would have been $16.4 million and $22.4 million higher than reported at December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
