Interpret Financial Leverage

Financial leveraging is the process of using debt to fund asset expansion. Companies are cognizant of the risks associated with over-leveraging, but it also dilutes shareholders’ values. Additionally, the provider of the debt will put a limit on how much risk it has the capacity to undertake.

For this week’s assignment, you will review the implication of financial leverage. Generally, financial leverage serves to magnify changes in net income and related financial ratios.
