Tax Management refers to a company’s efforts to manage its tax obligations efficiently and legally in order to optimize net income. This study aims to examine the effect of Fixed Asset Intensity and Leverage on Tax Management, with Profitability as a moderating variable, in mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2021–2024 period. This research is conducted because tax management practices are considered to potentially influence corporate profitability and financial performance. The study is grounded in Agency Theory and employs a quantitative approach. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 28 companies observed over four years, with a total of 112 secondary data observations obtained from annual reports or financial statements. Data analysis was performed using EViews 13 with a Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) approach. The findings indicate that: (1) Fixed Asset Intensity has no significant effect on Tax Management; (2) Leverage has a significant negative effect on Tax Management; (3) Profitability does not moderate the relationship between Fixed Asset Intensity and Tax Management; and (4) Profitability strengthens the effect of Leverage on Tax Management.

This community service initiative provides a comprehensive business analysis to evaluate financial feasibility, aiming to mitigate potential losses and ensure operational viability. By offering concrete data on business prospects and challenges, this analysis serves as a strategic guide for resource allocation and market targeting, while simultaneously enhancing attractiveness to potential investors. The program was conducted in the South Nunukan District, Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan. As Indonesia's 34th province and a strategic border region, North Kalimantan faces significant challenges in food security due to limited supply chains. A central component of this study is the Break-Even Point (BEP) analysis—the threshold at which a business incurs neither profit nor loss. The BEP analysis provides critical insights into the relationship between pricing, operational costs, sales volume, and production levels. Consequently, it serves as a vital decision-making tool for business owners to optimize profitability. The results of this study demonstrate that, despite the continued use of traditional methods, the polyculture system remains highly profitable and sustainable for the local community.

Stocks represent a capital market instrument with the potential to generate high returns. When making investment decisions, investors typically assess various internal aspects of a company, including its financial performance. The objective of this study is to examine the influence of profitability, liquidity, and leverage ratios on stock prices in the Indonesian banking sector, with a particular focus on state-owned banks, in both partial and simultaneous regression models. The methodology employed is quantitative analysis, with a secondary data set being utilized. The sample was determined using a purposive sampling technique, covering four state-owned banks (BRI, BNI, Mandiri, and BTN) for the 2010-2024 period. The findings of the analysis demonstrate that profitability and leverage exert a substantial negative influence on the stock prices of these banking institutions, while the liquidity ratio does not demonstrate a significant effect. Concurrently, all three variables exert an influence on stock prices, with an R-squared value of 58%.

Mining companies are increasingly required to demonstrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) accountability through sustainability reporting (SR). However, empirical evidence regarding the impact of SR on firm value in Indonesia’s mining sector remains inconsistent. This study aims to systematically examine the relationship between sustainability reporting and firm value using legitimacy theory as the conceptual framework. A Systematic Literature Review was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 protocol, employing narrative and thematic synthesis. Peer-reviewed articles published between 2018 and 2025 were retrieved from Google Scholar, Garuda Portal, and SINTA databases using relevant keywords. From 4,260 initial records, 11 studies met the inclusion criteria after screening, deduplication, and quality appraisal using an adapted CASP checklist. The findings reveal three dominant patterns: most studies report a positive effect of SR on firm value through improved transparency, corporate reputation, and investor confidence; several studies find no significant relationship due to short-term investor orientation; while a minority report negative effects associated with low disclosure quality and greenwashing concerns. Furthermore, the effectiveness of SR is influenced by disclosure quality, corporate governance, profitability, and leverage. This study implies that sustainability reporting can enhance firm value when disclosures are credible, consistent, and material, supporting legitimacy theory and encouraging alignment with the GRI 14: Mining Sector 2024 standard.

The primary focus of this research is to evaluate the influence of Good Corporate Governance (GCG), profitability levels, and entity scale on the market value of coal mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2021 and 2023. This study adopts a quantitative design by utilizing secondary data from the official IDX website, where 8 companies were selected as samples from a total population of 34 coal sub-sector companies through purposive sampling techniques. Data processing was carried out through panel data regression analysis using Eviews 12 software. The research data indicates that, independently, the implementation of good corporate governance and the level of profit acquisition do not contribute significantly to determining the value of the entity. Conversely, company size is proven to have a significant negative impact. Simultaneous testing confirms that these three independent variables collectively have a significant effect on company value. These findings indicate the need for strategies that consider factors beyond good corporate governance and profitability in efforts to increase company value, such as operational efficiency and proper asset management.

Corporate financial performance is an important factor in maintaining business sustainability amid increasingly intense competition. One of the commonly used indicators of financial performance is Return on Assets (ROA), which reflects a company’s ability to generate profits through the efficient use of its assets. Corporate profitability is influenced by various internal factors, including capital structure and liquidity. This study aims to analyze the effect of Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and Current Ratio (CR) on Return on Assets (ROA). This research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from corporate financial statements. The research sample consists of 36 observations selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis techniques include descriptive statistical analysis and multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS software. The results show that, partially, the Debt to Equity Ratio does not have a significant effect on Return on Assets, while the Current Ratio has a positive and significant effect on Return on Assets. Simultaneously, Debt to Equity Ratio and Current Ratio have a significant effect on Return on Assets, with Current Ratio being the most dominant variable. The findings indicate that effective liquidity management plays a crucial role in improving corporate profitability. The implications of this study are expected to provide useful insights for corporate management in making financial decisions, particularly related to liquidity management and capital structure.

Pricing is a critical factor determining the success of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the market. This study investigates the pricing strategy implemented by Kebab Ajo Lubeg, a culinary SME located near Universitas Putra Indonesia YPTK Padang. The research aims to analyze how pricing methods are applied, the factors considered in price determination, and their influence on consumer purchasing decisions and business strategy. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through semi-structured interviews with the owner and employees, direct observation, and documentation of product offerings and pricing. Findings indicate that Kebab Ajo applies a combination of cost-based pricing, competition-based pricing, and product-based price variation to balance production costs, consumer purchasing power, and market competition. The pricing strategy significantly affects consumer satisfaction, repeat purchases, perceived value, brand image, and business competitiveness. This study provides practical insights for other SMEs in setting appropriate prices while maintaining customer loyalty and profitability, and it contributes to the academic discourse on marketing management and pricing strategies in the culinary sector.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Current Ratio (CR), Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR), and Inventory Turnover on Earning Per Share (EPS). This research employs a quantitative method with a causal-comparative ex-post facto approach. The population includes food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2020-2023 period. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, resulting in 10 companies with a total of 40 observations. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression utilizing SPSS version 25 software. The results indicate that partially, CR, DAR, and Inventory Turnover each have a significant effect on EPS. Simultaneously, these three independent variables significantly affect EPS with a determination coefficient of 83.7%. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of liquidity management, solvency, and inventory efficiency in improving corporate share profitability.

This study investigates the determinants of capital structure within the healthcare industry, focusing on the influence of asset structure, profitability, and company size. Given the capital-intensive nature of healthcare—characterized by significant investments in medical technology and infrastructure—understanding how these firms balance debt and equity is critical for financial sustainability and operational growth. Using a quantitative approach, this research analyzes a panel dataset of healthcare companies listed on the Indonesian Capital Market from 2018 to 2023. Furthermore, the capital structure is quantified by the debt-to-equity ratio. Meanwhile, asset structure, profitability, and company size are measured by the ratio of fixed assets to total assets, return on assets, and the natural logarithm of total assets, respectively. Moreover, the data are analyzed using multiple linear regression, supported by the classical assumption testing. As a result, asset structure has a significant positive impact on capital structure, aligning with the static trade-off theory. Conversely, profitability demonstrates a significant negative relationship with capital structure, supporting the pecking order theory. Finally, company size positively affects capital structure, indicating that larger firms have greater access to debt financing. These findings suggest that healthcare managers should optimize their asset utilization and internal reserves to maintain an efficient capital structure that supports long-term healthcare delivery and investor confidence.

This community service program aims to strengthen the managerial capacity of red lemongrass farmers in AMKE Oro-Oro Ombo, Batu, East Java, through training on cash bookkeeping, income analysis, and farming feasibility evaluation. The main problems faced by farmers are limited knowledge of financial management, lack of systematic bookkeeping, and inability to evaluate the profitability of their businesses, which often results in inaccurate decision-making and low competitiveness. The method applied included participatory training, mentoring, and simulation of financial records and feasibility analysis. The results of the program demonstrate that participants gained a better understanding of the importance of structured financial recording. Farmers who previously relied only on sales revenue calculations without considering fixed and variable costs are now able to prepare cash books, identify expenses, and evaluate profit margins accurately. Cash bookkeeping has proven to improve financial transparency and accountability, while income analysis has equipped farmers with the skills to assess their business sustainability. The feasibility evaluation, using indicators such as R/C and B/C ratios, showed that red lemongrass farming is profitable but still requires efficiency improvements to increase long-term sustainability. Overall, this training has enhanced farmers’ managerial skills, encouraged independent decision-making, and strengthened their capacity to face price fluctuations and market competition. The program is expected to support the continuity and competitiveness of red lemongrass agribusiness in AMKE Oro-Oro Ombo

The management of material and labor costs at Gregors Barbershop is still manual and not formally structured, resulting in wastage of consumable materials, suboptimal labor utilization, and difficulties in determining service prices that align with the expected profit margins. Material costs, such as hair gel, tissues, disposable razors, and alcohol/disinfectants, are not recorded systematically, leading to frequent mismatches between stock and actual needs, while labor costs are calculated improvisationally without considering productivity and service targets. This activity aims to improve the ability of owners and employees to plan, control, and evaluate operational costs systematically, ensuring efficiency, resource optimization, and business profitability. The method uses an applied, hands-on approach, including the identification of partner needs, preparation of relevant training modules, direct operational mentoring, and evaluation with follow-up. The object of the activity is Gregors Barbershop in Batu Aji District, Batam City, which offers services such as modern men’s haircuts, classic shaves, shaving, hair treatments, and the sale of grooming products like pomade and hair oil. The results show increased efficiency in the use of consumable materials, more productive labor management, more systematic cost planning, and the ability to set service prices in line with costs and profit margins. It is recommended to implement a digital recording system and productivity-based incentives to ensure more accurate cost control, more efficient operations, and sustainable business profitability.

This study aims to examine the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) costs and financial characteristics on tax avoidance practices among publicly listed companies with the largest market capitalization in Indonesia. The study is motivated by Indonesia’s relatively low tax ratio compared to other emerging economies in the ASEAN region, which suggests the persistence of tax avoidance practices, particularly among large corporations. Grounded in legitimacy theory and agency theory, this research empirically investigates the influence of CSR costs, profitability, leverage, liquidity, activity ratio, growth ratio, and operating cash flow on tax avoidance. The research sample consists of 50 companies with the largest market capitalization listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange over the 2020–2024 period, employing a census sampling method and unbalanced panel data. Secondary data were obtained from annual financial reports and analyzed using panel data regression techniques. Tax avoidance is measured using the Book-Tax Differences (BTD) approach, while model selection is determined through the Chow test, Hausman test, and Lagrange Multiplier test. The results indicate that, simultaneously, all independent variables have a significant effect on tax avoidance. Partially, the activity ratio has a negative effect on tax avoidance, whereas the growth ratio and operating cash flow have a positive effect on tax avoidance. Meanwhile, CSR costs, profitability, leverage, and liquidity do not show a significant effect. These findings suggest that asset utilization efficiency tends to restrain tax avoidance behavior, while corporate growth dynamics and strong operating cash flows encourage more aggressive tax management strategies. This study provides empirical evidence from an emerging market context and offers insights for tax authorities and regulators in designing more effective, risk-based tax supervision policies.

This study examines the impact of financial performance indicators—activity, solvency, and liquidity ratios—on profit growth in pulp and paper manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2024. The research focuses on how variations in Total Assets Turnover, Inventory Turnover, Fixed Assets Turnover, Debt to Equity Ratio, and Quick Ratio affect profitability, especially during periods of economic instability like the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim is to identify which financial ratios have the most significant influence on profit performance. A quantitative research method was employed, utilizing secondary data from 42 observations of seven manufacturing firms, selected through purposive sampling. Multiple linear regression analysis, supported by SPSS software, was used to test the hypotheses. The findings show that all five ratios collectively have a significant impact on profit variations, with an F-statistic of 2.568 and a significance value of 0.044. However, when tested individually, only Total Assets Turnover and Inventory Turnover showed significant effects, while Fixed Assets Turnover, Debt to Equity Ratio, and Quick Ratio did not. The coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.263, indicating that 26.3% of the variation in profit can be explained by the analyzed variables.

This study examines the relationship between risk disclosure levels and profitability in transportation companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2022–2024 period. The transportation industry is characterized by high exposure to operational, financial, regulatory, and market-related risks, which necessitates transparent and comprehensive communication regarding potential threats to business sustainability and long-term performance. Using a quantitative correlational approach, this study measures the level of risk disclosure through systematic content analysis of companies’ annual reports, while profitability is evaluated using the Return on Assets (ROA) indicator. The analysis is conducted to identify the extent to which transparent risk reporting contributes to improved financial outcomes. The findings indicate a significant positive relationship between risk disclosure and profitability, suggesting that companies providing more comprehensive and detailed risk information tend to achieve higher financial performance. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that transparency plays a crucial role in enhancing investor confidence, strengthening corporate governance, and supporting sustainable business practices, particularly in high-risk sectors such as transportation.

Traditional snack micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia face increasing market competition and rapidly changing consumer preferences, particularly among younger consumers seeking innovative and symbolic food experiences. This community engagement study aims to strengthen the profitability and sustainability of traditional snack MSMEs by integrating local flavor innovation with simple business governance practices. Using a participatory action research approach under the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program in Palangka Raya, this study involved co-creation between students and local entrepreneurs in product development, production standardization, and basic financial management. Qualitative data were collected through participatory observation and stakeholder discussions, while quantitative data were obtained from sales records and simple financial reports. The results demonstrate that local flavor-based innovation, combined with standardized operating procedures and cost control mechanisms, improved product differentiation, operational efficiency, and financial performance. The intervention generated a positive net profit and strengthened the partner’s capacity for independent business management. This study contributes to the literature by positioning traditional food MSMEs as sites of cultural innovation and micro-governance, while supporting Sustainable Development Goals related to inclusive economic growth, cultural preservation, and responsible production.

This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of capital structure and fixed asset turnover on return on assets (ROA) at PT Argo Pantes Tbk during the period 2013–2022. The research employs a quantitative method with a statistical analysis approach, using secondary data obtained from the company’s financial statements. The data analysis techniques include classical assumption tests, namely normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation tests, followed by multiple linear regression analysis. Hypothesis testing is conducted through the coefficient of determination, partial statistical testing (t-test), and simultaneous statistical testing (F-test). The results indicate that capital structure has a significant effect on return on assets. This is evidenced by a t-value of 2.986, which is greater than the t-table value of 2.36462, and a significance level of 0.020, which is lower than 0.05. These findings suggest that an optimal capital structure plays an important role in improving the company’s profitability performance. Therefore, capital structure management should be considered a strategic factor by management in enhancing financial efficiency and overall corporate performance.

This study examines the effect of financial ratios on dividend policy with sales growth as a moderating variable in technology sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2019–2023. Dividend policy is an important corporate decision because it reflects management considerations in balancing company growth and shareholder returns. The independent variables used in this research are profitability, liquidity, and leverage, while dividend policy is the dependent variable and sales growth acts as a moderating variable. Profitability is measured using Return on Assets (ROA), liquidity is proxied by the Current Ratio (CR), leverage is measured using the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), and dividend policy is measured by the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR). This study employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the annual financial statements of technology sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The data are analyzed using multiple linear regression and moderated regression analysis.The results show that profitability does not have a significant effect on dividend policy, indicating that net profit generated during the year is not the main consideration in dividend distribution decisions within technology companies. Liquidity has a significant effect on dividend policy, suggesting that companies with stronger short-term financial conditions tend to have a greater ability to distribute dividends. Leverage also significantly affects dividend policy, implying that the level of corporate debt influences management decisions regarding dividend payments. Furthermore, sales growth does not moderate the relationship between profitability and dividend policy. However, sales growth is proven to moderate the effect of liquidity and leverage on dividend policy. These findings provide insights for management and investors in understanding dividend policy determinants in technology sector companies in Indonesia.

This study aims to determine the impact of Financial Technology (Fintech) and digital banking on the overall performance of conventional banking institutions in Indonesia. This research employs a qualitative approach using a comprehensive literature review as its primary method. Data analysis in this study was conducted through an extensive review of various sources, including books, peer-reviewed journal articles, research reports, official websites, newspapers, and magazines, to obtain a holistic understanding of the topic. The results of this study indicate that both Fintech and digital banking significantly affect the performance of conventional banks in Indonesia. Specifically, the effect of Fintech on conventional banking is reflected in a decrease in traditional banking profitability, because Fintech platforms provide alternative channels and competition in credit distribution and financial services. Meanwhile, the effect of digital banking on conventional banking includes improvements in operational efficiency, wider service accessibility for customers, and noticeable changes in customer behavior and expectations. These findings suggest that conventional banks must adapt strategically to remain competitive in the evolving financial ecosystem.

This study aims to analyze the profitability and feasibility of sheep farming using intensive and semi-intensive rearing sistems in Suka Raya Village, Pancur Batu Sub-district. The research employed a survey method with purposive sampling, involving 16 farmers (8 intensive and 8 semi-intensive), each rearing more than 15 sheep and operating for at least 3 years. Data were collected through questionnaire interviews and field observations, then analyzed descriptively to calculate production costs, revenue, income, R/C ratio, and Break Even Point (BEP). Results showed that the average total production cost for the intensive sistem was Rp 52,429,313, higher than the semi-intensive sistem at Rp 39,664,375. The average revenue for the intensive sistem was Rp 69,150,000, while the semi-intensive sistem was Rp 63,712,500. The average income for intensive farmers was Rp 16,720,688, compared to Rp 24,048,125 for semi-intensive farmers. The average R/C ratio for the intensive sistem was 1 (near break-even), while the semi-intensive sistem was 2 (more efficient and profitable). BEP analysis indicated higher sales for the intensive sistem (Rp 844,022/sheep/period) compared to the semi-intensive sistem (Rp 691,052/sheep/period), with a larger production BEP for the intensive sistem (44 sheep) than the semi-intensive sistem (33 sheep). The semi-intensive sistem is recommended for farmers with limited capital and small to medium-scale operations due to lower costs and higher profit margins, while the intensive sistem is more suitable for large-scale operations with adequate capital, feed management, and health care.

This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the implementation of green finance and its relationship with the financial performance and profitability of banking institutions in Indonesia. Although sustainable finance policies have been continuously strengthened by regulators and stakeholders, the contribution of green financing to overall banking performance is still developing gradually, making it important to conduct a more focused and systematic analysis of its effectiveness. This research specifically aims to describe the application of green financing practices, assess financial performance conditions, and analyze bank profitability during the 2020–2024 period. The study employs a descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data on green financing distribution, financial performance indicators such as the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Non-Performing Loans (NPL), and Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR), as well as profitability measured through Return on Assets (ROA). The findings indicate that the implementation of green finance has the potential to enhance long-term financial stability and improve profitability in the banking sector. This study implies that expanding green financing can serve as a relevant and sustainable business strategy for the banking industry while simultaneously supporting national sustainability and environmental development objectives.
