How to calculate the polyvinyl chloride to methanol ratio
Polyvinyl Chloride to Methanol ratio = Polyvinyl Chloride 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 polyvinyl chloride — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $4,673.00 ÷ $2,861.00 = 1.633. The inverse is 0.6122.
