1. The debt burden that the company has as measured by its Interest Coverage (current year). The higher, the better.

Interest Coverage=-1*Operating Income (Q: Dec. 2020 )/Interest Expense (Q: Dec. 2020 )
=-1*124.9/-1.3
=96.08

The higher the ratio, the stronger the company's financial strength is.

2. Debt to revenue ratio. The lower, the better.

Varian Medical Systems's Debt to Revenue Ratio for the quarter that ended in Dec. 2020 is

Debt to Revenue Ratio=Total Debt (Q: Dec. 2020 ) / Revenue
=(Short-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation + Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation) / Revenue
