2025-11-30T22:17:16+00:00

This study investigates the influence of Working Capital Turnover (WCTO) and Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) on the Net Profit Margin (NPM) of PT Gudang Garam Tbk during the 2013–2023 period. Using a quantitative approach with secondary financial data, hypothesis testing was conducted through the partial (t-test) and simultaneous (F-test) significance tests at a 5% alpha level. Data analysis employed SPSS version 24. The results indicate that WCTO has a significant partial effect on NPM, as reflected by a t-value of –2.819 < 2.306 and a significance level of 0.0223 < 0.05. Conversely, DER shows no significant partial effect on NPM, with a t-value of 1.666 < 2.306 and a significance value of 0.134 > 0.05. Simultaneously, WCTO and DER have a significant combined effect on NPM, evidenced by an F-value of 4.921 > 4.26 and a significance level of 0.040 < 0.05. The Adjusted R-squared of 43% indicates that the model explains nearly half of the variation in profitability.

Firm Value Determinants: Solvency, Asset Growth, and Profitability in the Food and Beverage Sector

2025-11-13T14:36:51+00:00

This study investigates the determinants of firm value by examining the roles of solvency, asset growth, and profitability in food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The research sample consists of eight leading firms selected through purposive sampling from 2018–2023, yielding 48 firm-year observations. Data were analyzed using multiple regression with SPSS to assess both partial and simultaneous effects. The results show that solvency has a negative but insignificant effect on firm value, indicating that higher debt levels may not necessarily enhance market perception. Conversely, asset growth and profitability exert positive and significant effects, implying that efficient asset management and strong earnings performance contribute to higher firm value. Simultaneously, the three variables significantly influence firm value, suggesting their collective importance in shaping investor confidence. These findings provide practical implications for managers and investors to strengthen financial decision-making and corporate performance in Indonesia’s food and beverage sector.

This study evaluates the financial risk implications of pricing inaccuracy and analyzes the effectiveness of the full costing method in improving financial decision-making within small enterprises. Using a case study of UMKM Tempe Mbak Novi in Purworejo, Indonesia, the research integrates cost accounting with financial risk evaluation to assess how incomplete cost allocation affects profitability, liquidity, and cash flow stability. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Results show that the firm’s cost-of-production calculation underestimates total costs by IDR 4,074,000 compared to the full costing approach. This mispricing leads to a potential profit loss of 24.1% and increases financial risk exposure, particularly cash flow volatility and underpricing risk. The findings suggest that implementing a full costing system enables more accurate pricing, strengthens financial sustainability, and reduces operational risk for micro and small enterprises
