Annual Report of a company - Toronto Dominion Bank

Annual Report As an employee with the Toronto Dominion Bank I must decide whether or not I would arrange loans to my clients. Some of my clients range from medium to large corporations.

While their long-term interest rate of 42.9 per cent in 2000 had a bit of improvement they still need to borrow less long-term debts. Since the profitability returns are 2.84% to 10.14% the company is using their leverage wisely given that the short-term interest rate is lower than the profitability returns percentages.
