WEEK 3: Discussion Prompt #1 – The more debt a firm uses, the greater its financial leverage, which magnifies both risk and return.

Provide a summary of the comments that are made regarding the company’s debt and financial leverage. Your responses should include at least two peer-reviewed sources for support of your findings.
