Once all bitcoins and litecoins are mined their value will be proportional to the quantity of coins minted. Since 84M litecoins and 21M bitcoins will be minted, my question is...
Will one litecoin be a quarter of a bitcoin in value?*
*Ceteris paribus.

No. Only if the market cap of LTC was equal to that of BTC, which will probably never happen. Even if LTC get up there, it will never be exact.

even though there is a 4 fold of litecoins to be produced, the value is more based on mining costs and amount of merchants accepting litecoin, which puts litecoin as more of a penny/cent compared to bitcoin..
a few people jokingly last year wanted to make an alt that was just 1 single coin where people were mining for divisions of this coin (saltyspitoon's: communistcoin) so if value was based purely on coins available and not mining costs/usability. this communistcoin would already be worth 2billion. which in reality would never happen.

a quarter of a bitcoin is still an actual thing. There is no need for litecoin to be that.

litecoin (or any alt) could become more valued then bitcoin, if it became more usable as a currency then bitcoin.

demand and supply is the only thing that determines price in a free market.

The value will be what the free market decides.

Pretty much this. No such thing as "quarter to dollar", whilst it's plenty possible, litecoin isn't relative to bitcoin, simple as that. With the ridiculous hash rate litecoin has, i would find it hard to believe that litecoin would stumble and fall, BTC and LTC are clearly miles ahead of any other coin out there at the moment in terms of network hash rates. BTC simply has more spending options at the moment whereas litecoin is still slowly taking off in terms of places to spend it.

Obvious no. The price will be based on demand. It's a free market system.
