Generation

**Leverage** is the use of borrowed money to finance business operations or investments, amplifying both potential returns and risks. **Debt-to-equity ratio** measures a company's financial leverage by comparing its total debt to shareholder equity. **Key Formula:** Debt-to-Equity Ratio = Total Debt / Total Equity A higher ratio indicates more leverage and greater financial risk, while a lower ratio suggests a more conservative capital structure with less reliance on borrowed funds.
