How to calculate the methanol to magnesium ratio
Methanol to Magnesium ratio = Methanol price per Metric Ton ÷ Magnesium price per Metric Ton
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Metric Tons of magnesium per Metric Ton of methanol — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $2,861.00 ÷ $16,900.00 = 0.1693. The inverse is 5.907.
