How to calculate the polypropylene to methanol ratio
Polypropylene to Methanol ratio = Polypropylene 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 polypropylene — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $8,099.00 ÷ $2,861.00 = 2.831. The inverse is 0.3533.
