Other inventories are measured principally at average cost and consist mostly of foreign inventories and certain raw materials. If the entire inventory had been valued on an average cost basis, inventory would have been higher by $600 and $450 at the end of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

During 2013, 2012, and 2011, liquidation of LIFO layers generated income of $8, $4, and $22, respectively.
