How to calculate the methanol to polyvinyl chloride ratio
Methanol to Polyvinyl Chloride ratio = Methanol price per Metric Ton ÷ Polyvinyl Chloride price per Metric Ton
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Metric Tons of polyvinyl chloride per Metric Ton of methanol — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $2,861.00 ÷ $4,673.00 = 0.6122. The inverse is 1.633.
