(10) 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:


	April 27		October 27		April 28
	2025		2024		2024
Raw materials and supplies	$	3,438	$	3,486	$	3,851
Work-in-process		1,056		930		1,127
Finished goods and parts		5,615		5,364		5,979
Total FIFO value		10,109		9,780		10,957
Excess of FIFO over LIFO		2,239		2,687		2,514
Inventories	$	7,870	$	7,093	$	8,443
