How to calculate the methanol to polypropylene ratio
Methanol to Polypropylene ratio = Methanol price per Metric Ton ÷ Polypropylene price per Metric Ton
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Metric Tons of polypropylene per Metric Ton of methanol — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $2,861.00 ÷ $8,099.00 = 0.3533. The inverse is 2.831.
