Let $H(n) = {\sigma (\phi (n))/\phi (\sigma (n))}$, where $\phi (n)$ is Euler's function and $\sigma (n)$ stands for the sum of the positive divisors of $n$. We obtain the maximal and minimal orders of $H(n)$ as well as its average order, and we also prove two density theorems. In particular, we answer a question raised by Golomb.
