Answer 1

a restructuring action whereby a party buys all of the assets of a business, financed largely with debt, and takes the firm private.

Step-by-step explanation:

A leverage means taking a loan to consummate a deal. So a leveraged buyout is when an entity takes a loan in order to buy all the assets of a firm and take it private.

Leveraged buyout is practices by parties that do not have enough funds to purchase a company, but they see a high return of Investments over time.

So they take a loan to buyout the company in the hope that returns will eventually cover the loan taken
