Question: Calculate the Financial Leverage Ratio for NVIDIA in 2024 and compare it to 2023
Answer: Financial Leverage Ratio is calculated using the formula: Financial Leverage Ratio = Total Assets / Shareholders' Equity.

For 2024:
Total Assets = $65,728 million
Shareholders' Equity = $42,978 million
Financial Leverage Ratio = $65,728 / $42,978 = 1.53

For 2023:
Total Assets = $41,182 million
Shareholders' Equity = $22,101 million
Financial Leverage Ratio = $41,182 / $22,101 = 1.86
