I was hoping someone might be able to help sort out where I am going wrong in my calculation of the ratio of relative difference.
Value1= .0759
Value2= .0544
SqRt(.0759 / .0544) = 1.181195
The above calculation seems to work, but in a situation like below where the values are reversed the calculation is missing something.
SqRt(.0544/ .0759 ) = 0.846600
The reason I say this is if I utilize the ratio to split $5,000 there is an overage
$5,000 / 2 = $2,500
$2,500 * 1.181195 = $2,952.98
&
$5,000 / 2 = $2,500
$2,500 * 0.846600 = $2,116.50
$2,952.98 + $2,116.50 = $5,069.48 ... $69.48 too much
Any idea where I messed things up ?
