  Financial Ratios - Leverage Ratios. Leverage ratios measure the extent to which a company relies on debt financing in comparison to equity financing in its capital structure. Debt involves borrowing money to be repaid, plus interest, while equity involves raising money by selling interests in the company.Companies normally prefer debt financing rather than equity financing. This is because of the cost of debt is lower than the cost of equity mainly because of one important fact that interest payment on debt in tax deductible while the dividend paid to the equity shareholders is taxable. However, debt creates with it a requirement for fixed payment in form of interest.

The Nifty has made low of 11661 on Thursday and it was bounced from that level.
