Steve,
are you following your own script with this code, or is it necessary for
Shehzad to obtain a correct answer?

Here are some details. It's necessary to operate on the log of the
absolute value of the ratio and attach the sign afterwards:
*************
sysuse auto, clear
logit foreign rep78 price weight
local sgn = sign(_b[price]/_b[weight])
nlcom _b[price]/_b[weight] //ratio
nlcom log(abs( _b[price]/_b[weight])) //log ratio
return list
local lratio = el(r(b),1,1)
local ratio = `sgn'*exp(`lratio')
local bound = invnormal(1-.05/2)*sqrt(el(r(V),1,1))
local llim = exp(`lratio' -`bound')
local ulim = exp(`lratio' + `bound')
di "ratio = " `ratio' " llimit = " `llim' " ulimit = " `ulim'
*************
