How to calculate the magnesium to methanol ratio
Magnesium to Methanol ratio = Magnesium 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 magnesium — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $16,900.00 ÷ $2,861.00 = 5.907. The inverse is 0.1693.
