At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the total amount of inventories valued on a LIFO basis was 35%. If valued on an
average-cost basis, total inventories would have been $770 and $801 higher at December 31, 2012 and 2011,
respectively. During the three-year period ended December 31, 2012, reductions in LIFO inventory quantities caused
partial liquidations of the lower cost LIFO inventory base. These liquidations resulted in the recognition of income of
$1 ($1 after-tax) in 2012, $2 ($1 after-tax) in 2011, and $27 ($17 after-tax) in 2010.
