The answer is: The inventory turnover for 20x4 was 2 times

Explanation:

In order to find the inventory turnover we must first calculate the ending inventory:

COGS = beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

$18,000 = $6,000 + $24,000 - ending inventory

ending inventory = $30,000 - $18,000 = $12,000

Inventory turnover = COGS / Average inventory

Average inventory = (beginning inventory + ending inventory) / 2

Inventory turnover = $18,000 / [ ($6,000 + $12,000) / 2] = $18,000 / $9,000

Inventory turnover = 2
