0.5

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate the average inventory by the company. This is obtainable by adding the beginning inventory to the end inventory and finding the average.

This is mathematically equal to (70,000 + 50,000) / 2 = 120,000/2 = 60,000

The inventory to turn over ratio is thus calculated as cost of services sold/average inventory

That is 30,000/60,000 = 0.5
