Estimate the following ratios for ZEDO after the first pass for 2021 assuming any additional financing needed is obtained 25% with notes payable and 75% long-term debt. Assume in 2020, short-term interest rates were 3% points less than long-term rates; i.e. if short-term rates are 6%, then long-term rates are 9%. Assume further that rates are expected to remain at those levels in 2021. Finally, any remaining AFN after 1^st pass is included in total debt for ratios.
