(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:


	August 2		November 2		July 27
	2026		2025		2025
Raw materials and supplies	$	3,627	$	3,402	$	3,350
Work-in-process		1,008		956		1,139
Finished goods and parts		5,768		5,769		6,088
Total FIFO value		10,403		10,127		10,577
Excess of FIFO over LIFO		2,592		2,721		2,864
Inventories	$	7,811	$	7,406	$	7,713
