How to calculate the polyethylene to urea ratio
Polyethylene to Urea ratio = Polyethylene price per Metric Ton ÷ Urea price per Metric Ton
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Metric Tons of urea per Metric Ton of polyethylene — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $7,856.00 ÷ $409.00 = 19.21. The inverse is 0.05206.
