This study aims to examine the influence of capital structure and liquidity on the profitability of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period. Capital structure is represented by the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), while liquidity is measured using the Current Ratio (CR). Profitability is assessed through Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). This research employs a quantitative approach with a causality design and uses multiple linear regression as the analytical method. The sample consists of three manufacturing companies—PT Chandra Asri Pacific Tbk (TPIA), PT Aneka Tambang Tbk (ANTM), and PT Gudang Garam Tbk (GGRM)—selected through purposive sampling based on predetermined criteria. Prior to hypothesis testing, classical assumption tests including normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation were conducted, and all variables met the requirements for regression analysis. The findings reveal that DER has a negative and significant effect on both ROA and ROE, indicating that higher leverage reduces the company’s ability to generate profits. Conversely, CR has a positive and significant effect on profitability, suggesting that companies with stronger liquidity positions are more capable of sustaining operational activities and improving financial performance. The F-test results show that DER and CR simultaneously have a significant influence on profitability. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination demonstrates that more than half of the variation in profitability can be explained by the two independent variables. Overall, the study emphasizes the importance of maintaining an optimal balance between debt utilization and liquidity management. Effective capital structure policies and sufficient liquidity levels are essential for enhancing profitability and ensuring financial stability within the manufacturing industry. These findings provide valuable implications for corporate decision-makers, investors, and stakeholders in formulating financial strategies that support long-term performan.  

Progressive wear on drive belt components, brake lining thickness, double lining bowl and other components of continuously variable transmission (CVT) on 160 cm3 automatic motorcycles are the problems faced. The purpose of component replacement planning is to obtain maintenance costs in 2026 and maintenance to profit ratio. The component replacement planning method includes collecting previous maintenance data, applying the inspection-replace-repair-overhaul (IRRO) method, evaluating component conditions, predicting component lifespan, predicting labor costs, predicting supporting equipment and supporting materials to be used in maintenance, predicting spare part replacement time, predicting maintenance costs in 2026, and calculating the maintenance cost to profit ratio. The results of component replacement planning obtained maintenance costs in 2026 are IDR 8.151.667,- with an estimated rental rate for Automatic Motorcycles of IDR 12,500/hour which has the potential to be rented for 3960 hours/year, and the ratio of maintenance costs to profits is 16.4% which implies that the 160 cm3 Automatic Motorcycle which was first used in 2021 is still prospective to generate profits and is suitable for use in the coming years.

The development of modern business has given rise to various marketing models, one of which is Multi-Level Marketing (MLM). However, in practice, many parties misuse this system into a pyramid scheme, a business model that prioritizes profits from recruiting new members rather than from actual product sales. This phenomenon causes harm to society and raises moral as well as religious concerns in Islamic law. This study aims to analyze the recruitment strategies and compensation patterns used in pyramid schemes disguised as MLM, examine them from the perspective of Islamic economics, and provide a comparison with Multi-Level Marketing systems that operate in accordance with Islamic principles. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach by reviewing various sources such as books, scientific journals, and relevant academic documents. The results indicate that the recruitment system and compensation pattern in pyramid schemes contain elements of gharar, tadlis, dharar, and zhulm, all of which contradict Islamic economic principles. Therefore, the public is advised to be more cautious in choosing MLM businesses, as such models are permissible in Islam only if they focus on selling lawful (halal) products, are conducted honestly and transparently, and provide fair benefits for all parties involved.

This study focuses on analyzing the influence of sustainability reports, free cash flow, and sales growth on the financial performance of energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period. Financial performance is measured using Return on Assets (ROA) as the main indicator to assess a company's ability to generate profits from its total assets. This study uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis to examine the relationship between variables. The data used are documentary data with secondary data sources obtained from financial reports and company sustainability reports. A purposive sampling technique was applied to determine the research sample based on certain criteria, resulting in 95 observational data. The results show that free cash flow and sales growth have a significant influence on financial performance, indicating that the company's ability to generate free cash and increase sales directly contribute to performance improvements. Conversely, sustainability reports were not proven to have a significant effect on financial performance, so sustainability disclosure has not been a determining factor in increasing the ROA of energy sector companies during the study period.

The problem with the sugarcane press machine is a decrease in performance in sugarcane pressing because it has been used since 2020 with an initial price of IDR 3,000,000, which is predicted to be IDR 5,500,000 in 2025 which occurs in the main components of the roler mill, V-belt, and bearings. The purpose of scheduling replacements and repairs is to obtain a schedule, estimated maintenance costs, and the ratio of replacement and repair costs to the profit of renting a sugarcane press for the period 2026. The scheduling method includes collecting data on the use of the sugarcane press machine, a list of replacements for 5 components for roler mills, V-belts, bearings, gasoline motor tanks, and engine frames from 34 components, component prices, estimated labor costs, equipment costs, supporting material costs, application of the inspection, replace, repair, and overhaul (IRRO) method, scheduling replacements and repairs, and calculating the ratio of replacement costs to profits. The results of the replacement and repair scheduling are in the form of maintenance costs of IDR 958,000, with a rate of IDR 10,000/hour for 588 hours/year, resulting in a profit of IDR 5,880,000, and a ratio of maintenance and repair costs to profit of 0.16%.

Problems in the meatball dough grinder are low production, increasing maintenance costs and disappointed meatball dough customers who receive orders late due to problems with the electric motor, Pulley, V belt, cutting knife. The purpose of the replacement scheduling is to obtain costs, maintenance-repair schedules in the period 2026, and the ratio of maintenance costs to profits. The replacement scheduling method includes collecting previous period maintenance data, applying the inspection-replace-repair-overhaul (IRRO) method, evaluating component working conditions, predicting component life, predicting repairman costs, predicting supporting equipment that will be used in maintenance, predicting the time to replace spare parts or reinstall components after repair, estimating maintenance and repair costs in 2026, and calculating the ratio of maintenance costs to profits. The results of the replacement scheduling show that the maintenance costs in 2026 are IDR 2,530,000 with an estimated rental rate for the meatball dough grinder of IDR 10,000/kg which has the potential to be rented for 1300 hours/year, and the ratio of maintenance costs to profits is 4.9% which implies that the meatball dough grinder with a capacity of 5 kg/hour still has the potential to sell well and is suitable for use in the coming years.

This study aims to examine how profits and company size affect tax avoidance in energy companies listed on the stock exchange between 2022 and 2024. This study applies a quantitative approach using secondary data from annual financial reports. The population data was taken from 18 energy companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, while the sample selection was conducted using purposive sampling. The main phenomenon affecting the test results is the existence of incentives for highly profitable companies to engage in tax avoidance due to the potential for more significant tax savings. In addition, large companies usually have more resources and complex organizational structures, which give them more opportunities to carry out innovative and aggressive tax planning. It is hoped that this study can offer a fresh understanding of tax avoidance practices in the energy sector in Indonesia. The impact of this study is important for authorities to understand the relationship between corporate profitability, entity size, and tax avoidance practices, especially in the energy sector, which plays a strategic role. This understanding can assist in formulating more appropriate taxation policies to maintain economic stability and fiscal justice. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on business entities in the energy sector listed on the Stock Exchange from 2022 to 2024, which is a dynamic period marked by global commodity price fluctuations, changes in energy policy, and significant geopolitical challenges.

Islamic economic instruments in the Indonesian economic system play an important role, such as waqf which can provide many benefits to society. Waqf instruments continue to innovate, where previously they were limited to land or buildings, now there are waqf instruments in the form of money. However, cash waqf is considered to be still not optimal because the potential of existing waqf is very far from the waqf that can be collected. This study aims to determine whether there is an influence of attitudes, subjective norms, performance expectations and social influences on intentions to endow money. The population of this study is the Muslim community in the city of Semarang. By taking a sample of 150 respondents by purposive non-random sampling. The data collection used a Googleform questionnaire, the data analysis method used SEM (Structural Equation Model) based on the SmartPLS 3.0 application. The results showed that the research model used was valid and reliable so that it was used properly. Based on the hypothesis test, the result is that attitude has a positive and significant direct effect on the intention of cash waqf. Subjective norms have a positive and not significant direct effect on cash waqf intentions. Performance Expectation has a positive and significant effect on cash waqf intentions. Social influence has a positive and insignificant effect on cash waqf intentions. The conclusion from this study is that the higher the attitude factor in a person which comes from beliefs in behaviour, the higher the intention of cash waqf, and the higher the performance expectation factor which comes from the level of confidence in obtaining profits in behaviour, the higher the intention of cash waqf. Likewise, subjective norm factors originating from social pressure have no influence on cash waqf intentions and social influence factors originating from social pressure in perceiving the use of the system have no influence on cash waqf intentions.

Green accounting procedures have been adopted by numerous companies in response to the growing global focus on environmental responsibility. Nonetheless, monetary instability is still a major obstacle that can reduce productivity in Indonesia's manufacturing sector. The purpose of this research is to analyze industrial businesses listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2023 and see how green accounting, financial crisis, and earnings management affect financial performance. The population in this study consists of 68 industrial sector companies, with a sample of 7 companies selected through purposive sampling based on 4 criteria. We used EViews software and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) for a quantitative approach. First, financial distress has a significant impact on financial performance. Second, green accounting has a significant positive effect on financial performance. Third, earnings management does not moderate the relationship between financial distress and financial performance. Fourth, earnings management does not moderate the relationship between green accounting and financial performance. With an Adjusted R-Square value of 79.73%, the study model has a high level of explanatory power. It may be used to explain the majority of the variation in financial performance. This shows that the constructed model is applicable and fits the empirical data well. Transparent reporting and real sustainability initiatives are still vital for improving company results, according to these results, as profits management methods do not change the impact of environmental and financial variables, which are important drivers of performance.

Every year, companies are required to prepare financial reports that include information on their financial condition, performance, and cash flow. This report demonstrates management's accountability for the resources they manage. One of the most important elements in this report is profit. This profit figure is closely monitored by report users, as it is considered a key measure of management's achievements and performance. However, in their financial management, manufacturing companies often face problems related to earnings management practices. Earnings management is an attempt by company management to manipulate or arrange financial reports, especially profits, for specific purposes. This practice can be carried out to demonstrate better financial performance, meet market targets, or reduce tax burdens. The purpose of this study is to determine the determinants of earnings management, such as intellectual capital, inflation, and third-party funds. This study utilizes information taken from the financial reports of manufacturers listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) using a purposive sampling method that meets the exploratory steps. This research period was taken over three years, with 78 observations used from 26 manufacturing companies. This research method used Eviews 12 with secondary data types. The results of the study show that there is a positive influence between intellectual capital on profit management, and there is no influence of inflation on profit management, and third party funds do not have a significant influence on profit management..

This study aims to investigate in detail the tax planning and implementation strategies applied by PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk in fulfilling its Corporate Income Tax (CIT) obligations. While taxes serve as a major source of government revenue, they also represent a financial burden for businesses that can impact net profits. Therefore, the implementation of a carefully designed tax planning approach is crucial to effectively manage tax liabilities while remaining compliant with existing legal regulations. The research employs a descriptive-analytical method, supported by a review of relevant literature and the use of secondary data obtained from taxation-related documentation. The study seeks to identify the tax planning protocols adopted by the company and assess their influence on the effectiveness of the firm’s tax-related financial expenditures. The findings reveal that PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk has successfully implemented tax planning strategies through the strategic utilization of deductible expenses as outlined in Article 6(1) of the Indonesian Income Tax Law, which includes expenditures for employee training, research and development activities, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. This approach allows the company to legally reduce its tax obligations while enhancing its financial efficiency. The insights gained from this research are expected to serve as a framework for other organizations in developing tax planning policies that are not only effective and efficient but also sustainable in the long term.

This study aims to analyze cryptocurrency investments and the risks faced by beginner investors who own digital assets such as Bitcoin, Solana, XRP, and other coins that have been increasing in value over the past few years, especially among the general public and retail investors. Not only retail investors, but governments also now hold digital assets, as has already happened. However, the unstable price and lack of global legal oversight make investing in cryptocurrency highly risky, especially for those with less knowledge and experience. The methods used in this study include literature review, descriptive analysis of historical price data for cryptocurrency, case studies, and interviews with several beginner investors. The findings show that cryptocurrency can generate large profits in a short time, but the risk of losing capital is also very high. Therefore, having a good understanding of blockchain technology, risk management, and investment psychology before starting to invest is important. This study is hoped to serve as a reference for beginner investors when considering decisions to invest in cryptocurrency.

A competitive company is basically a company that is able to maintain consistency and stability of profits in various business activities, without having to commit acts of fraud that can harm internal and external parties. Achieving high-quality profits is an important indicator of the company's sustainability because it reflects management's ability to effectively manage assets, resources, and business strategies. In the context of this study, the main focus is directed to the effect of leverage, liquidity, and profitability on the quality of profit with the size of the company as a variable of moderation. The study was conducted on food and beverage subsector manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2019 to 2023. The research method used is quantitative with analytical descriptive approach. The selection of samples was carried out by purposive sampling technique so that 25 companies were obtained as samples with a total of 125 financial statement data for five years of observation. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that leverage, liquidity and profitability have a negative and significant influence on the quality of profit. This finding shows that the higher the three variables, the quality of profit actually decreases. Furthermore, the results revealed that the size of the company is not able to moderate the relationship between leverage, liquidity, and profitability to the quality of profit.

This study aims to analyze the effect of profit growth, liquidity, and Leverage on profit quality with company size as a moderation variable in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2019-2023 period. This research is based on the importance of profit quality as an indicator of real financial performance, as well as the phenomenon of profit management practices that can reduce the quality of financial information. The research method used was quantitative with a causal and associative approach, using secondary data from the financial statements of 65 manufacturing companies over five years. Data analysis techniques include multiple linear regression analysis and moderated regression analysis (MRA) with the help of SPSS software. The results show that profit growth, liquidity, and Leverage have a significant negative effect on the quality of profit. This indicates that the increase in these three variables tends to decrease the quality of profits, which is likely due to profit management practices to maintain the company's financial image. In addition, company size is not able to moderate the relationship between profit growth, liquidity, and Leverage to profit quality. These findings imply that the scale of the company does not affect the strength of the relationship between these variables and the quality of profits. This research makes a theoretical contribution in enriching the accounting literature regarding the factors that affect the quality of profits and the role of company size. Practically, the results of the research can be a reference for company management and investors in improving the transparency and quality of financial reporting.

This research examines the implementation of tax planning for Value Added Tax (VAT) at the XYZ Accounting Firm (KJA) to enhance tax efficiency. In Indonesia, the self-assessment tax system requires taxpayers to calculate and report their own taxes, prompting businesses to seek strategies to minimize tax burdens and maximize profits. VAT, as a consumption-based tax, represents a significant source of government revenue. KJA XYZ supports its clients in VAT planning through measures such as utilizing automated Excel tools and providing education on tax regulations. Despite these efforts, challenges such as invoice data discrepancies have been identified. To address these issues, it is recommended that KJA XYZ further develop its automation systems and enhance communication with clients. The findings of this study indicate that effective VAT planning contributes positively to clients’ tax efficiency.

Net profit is an important indicator in assessing a company's financial performance because it reflects the effectiveness of management in generating profits. Several factors that influence net profit include sales, cost of goods sold, operating expenses, and other income. This study aims to analyze the influence of these factors on net profit at PT. Pesona Minuman Indonesia during the 2021–2023 period. The independent variables include sales, cost of goods sold, operating expenses, and other income, while net profit serves as the dependent variable. A quantitative approach using multiple linear regression was applied to 36 quarterly data from the company. The results show that sales, cost of goods sold, and operating expenses have a positive and significant influence on net profit, while other income has a negative and significant influence. Simultaneously, all four variables have a significant influence on the company's net profit. This finding emphasizes the importance of good management of sales and operating costs as key factors in achieving optimal profitability. Therefore, the company needs to focus on increasing sales and controlling operating costs to maximize its net profit.

The determination of the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) is a crucial element for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), especially in setting competitive prices and achieving the desired profits. However, many MSMEs still face challenges in understanding and applying the appropriate COGS determination methods. This training aims to enhance the capacity of MSMEs in calculating COGS using the Full Costing method through training and mentoring programs. The methodology used includes delivering material, calculation simulations, and evaluating the application of the Full Costing method. The research results indicate an improvement in participants' understanding of cost components as well as their ability to calculate COGS in a more structured and accurate manner. This program has made a positive contribution to the financial management of MSMEs and is expected to serve as a model for capacity development for small business owners in the future.

This study aims to examine the effect of sales growth, profitability, capital structure, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on firm value in companies listed in the LQ45 index during the 2022–2024 period. This research also intends to provide insights for investors in evaluating the factors that influence firm value as a basis for investment decision-making, including sales growth, profitability, capital structure, CSR, and firm value. The population of this study consists of 45 LQ45 companies, with a sample of 32 companies selected using purposive sampling based on specific criteria, resulting in 96 total observations. The research results show that sales growth and CSR do not affect firm value. Meanwhile, profitability and capital structure hurt firm value. This study concludes that sales growth has not yet become a strong fundamental signal for investors, as it does not always reflect sustainable performance. High profitability, in fact, has a negative effect on firm value, which may be due to a mismatch between short-term profits and the long-term prospects expected by investors. A high capital structure signals greater financial risk, thereby reducing investor confidence in the company. Meanwhile, CSR has not had a significant impact on firm value, possibly due to low disclosure quality or a lack of investor attention to sustainability issues.

The capital market is a place for various investment instruments, ranging from short-term to long-term. Before buying shares in the capital market, investors need to analyze the share prices of selected companies to predict large profits. The higher the share price, the greater the possibility of making a profit. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the stock prices of companies in the hotel, resort, and shipping sub-sectors listed on the IDX for the period 2019–2024. The dependent variable in this study is stock price, while the independent variables are financial performance and sustainability report disclosure. Financial performance variables are proxied by DER, Current Ratio, ROA, and TATO. This is a quantitative study using secondary data obtained from annual reports and sustainability reports taken from the companies' official websites. The number of samples used in this study is 10 companies using classical assumption techniques, multiple linear regression analysis, determination tests, and ending with hypothesis testing. The results show that DER and Current Ratio have a negative effect on stock prices. ROA, TATO, and sustainability report disclosure partially have no effect on stock prices. Meanwhile, financial performance and sustainability report disclosure simultaneously affect stock prices.
