How to calculate the chromium to polyethylene ratio
Chromium to Polyethylene ratio = Chromium price per Metric Ton ÷ Polyethylene price per Metric Ton
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Metric Tons of polyethylene per Metric Ton of chromium — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $10,500.01 ÷ $7,856.00 = 1.337. The inverse is 0.7482.
