Puerto Rico Inventory Values
The inflated value of San Juan's inventories is explainable by examining product mix. Seven higher priced cost groups account for 47% of San Juan's total inventory value. These groups significantly effect the average. These groups reflect the fact that San Juan locally purchases alkyd paints and is involved in mixing operations. Detail is as follows:

When these higher priced gallons are pulled out of total inventories we see the average price per gallon drop $.54 from $5.80 to $5.26.
