Leverage

Leverage can impose a financial burden on companies. It can also create opportunity costs for the future. For this week’s discussion, compare the long-term debt burden of two publicly traded companies. Select two publicly traded companies from the same industry. Review the long-term liabilities section of the latest annual report for each of the two companies and write a 1-3 paragraph analysis of your findings as your main post. Include a copy of the companies’ balance sheets with your analysis.
