6

Explanation:

   Average inventories

For Wilkens Company, Costs of goods sold will be sales revenue - the gross profit

= $1,800,000- $600,000 = $1,200,000

Average inventory = Beginning stock + Ending stock /2

= $160,000 + $240,000 /2

=$200

Average turnover ratio = $1,200,000

       $200,000

=6
