(11) Inventories

A majority of inventories owned by us are valued at cost on the “last-in, first-out” (LIFO) basis. If all inventories valued on a LIFO basis had been valued on a “first-in, first-out” (FIFO) basis, the estimated inventories by major classification would have been as follows:


	February 1		November 2		January 26
	2026		2025		2025
Raw materials and supplies	$	3,738	$	3,402	$	3,549
Work-in-process		1,106		956		1,046
Finished goods and parts		6,351		5,769		6,055
Total FIFO value		11,195		10,127		10,650
Excess of FIFO over LIFO		2,909		2,721		2,906
Inventories	$	8,286	$	7,406	$	7,744
