The allowance for uncollectible accounts was $10 and $7 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. All sales are on credit.
Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost of the majority of inventories is measured using the last in, first out (LIFO) method. 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 $480 and $350 at the end of 2011 and 2010, respectively.
During 2011, 2010, and 2009, liquidation of LIFO layers generated income of $6, $7, and $25, respectively.
