How to calculate the lithium to methanol ratio
Lithium to Methanol ratio = Lithium price per Metric Ton ÷ Methanol price per Metric Ton
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Metric Tons of methanol per Metric Ton of lithium — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $160,500.00 ÷ $2,861.00 = 56.10. The inverse is 0.01783.
