The inventories of the manufacturing sites in Michigan are valued using the last-in, first-out method (LIFO). The inventories of all other subsidiaries are valued using the first-in, first-out method. Inventories valued using LIFO amounted to $22.4 million and $18.0 million as of June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, respectively. During 2012, 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 a negligible amount in 2012. If all inventories had been valued using the first-in first-out method, inventories would have been $86.9 million and $70.7 million at June 1, 2013 and June 2, 2012, respectively.
