On January 1, 2006, the Company elected to change its method of costing its U.S. inventories to the average cost method, which approximates FIFO,
whereas in all prior years most of the Company’s inventory in the U.S. was costed using the LIFO method. As a result of this change, the cost of all of
the Company’s inventories is determined by either the FIFO or average cost method. The new method of accounting for inventory in the U.S. is deemed
preferable as the average cost method provides better matching of revenue and expenses given the rapid technological change in the Company’s prod-
ucts. The average cost method also better reflects more current costs of inventory on the Company’s Statement of Financial Position. As prescribed in
SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” retrospective application of the change in accounting method is disclosed below.
The effects of the change in methodology of costing U.S. inventories from LIFO to average cost on inventory and cost of goods sold for prior periods
presented are as follows (in millions):
As of and for the Year Ended As of and for the Year Ended
December 31, 2005 December 31, 2004

Inventory $ 1,140 $ 1,455 $ 1,158 $ 1,506
Cost of goods sold $ 10,617 $ 10,650 $ 9,582 $ 9,601
