INTRODUCTION
In general, companies need capital to run and expand their business. Companies can obtain
capital through two programs, namely own capital (internal) and loans (external loans).
Therefore, companies, in this case financial managers, need to manage well so that the
company does not make the wrong decision, whether to use the capital itself or a loan or use
both.
PT Asia Paper Mills has debts of up to Rp 588.36 billion to its creditors. The company,
which is a paper and cardboard producer, must hand over its assets to a curator to pay off the
debt. The assets will then be sold by the curator and the proceeds from the sale will be made
available to the creditor. A total of 50 creditors have been verified and recofnized by the
curator. As for 50 creditors consist of 47 concurrent creditors with debts of IDR 209 billion,
one separatist creditor with debts of IDR 370.61 billion, and the rest preferred creditors whose
payments are prioritized, such as employee salaries, taxes, and electricity bills (Sari, 2017).
In contrast to PT Asia Paper Mills which tends to use loans, PT Lion Metal Works Tbk.
(SINGA) increased the share capital of PT Singa Purwakarta Jaya (SPJ) by 59,800 shares with
a nominal value of IDR 1 million / share. Through this transaction, SINGA issued Rp. 59.8
billion controls 99.99% of SPJ shares. In this case, the Director of SINGA, Lawer Supendi,
said the basis of the transaction was to support the subsidiary's business to become an industrial
area. In addition, it can convert shareholder debt into shares in subsidiary companies
(Dwijayanto, 2018).
When viewed from the importance of decisions in choosing a capital structure, the
company, in this case the financial manager, expaited can understand well what factors can
affect the capital structure. There are many factors that can affect the capital structure such as
profitability, asset structure, company size, business risk, liquidity, company growth, and
others.
PT Tunas Baru Lampung Tbk. (TBLA) experienced a decrease in net income which
resulted in decreased profitability in 2018 (Kalla, 2019). Even though it has decreased
profitability, TBLA still uses its own capital as a capital expenditure budget, but does not rule
out the possibility of using loans (external funding). Sourced from this news, it can be seen that
if profitability decreases, for business continuity, company funding tends to remain from its
own capital and does not rule out if the company will seek loans from external parties.
Sales of PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa Tbk (Indocement) have decreased from 2018
by 1.2% or 49 thousand tonnes (Liputan 6, 2019). The decline in sales that occurred did not
make Indocement choose to make loans to external parties, but preferred to maintain strong
cash flow in increasing the company's capital. Therefore, if sales decline, the company will
continue to use its own capital by strengthening cash flow and cash equivalents rather than
making loans from banks.
Small and medium entrepreneurs have the potential to develop their business, but are
constrained because MSMEs have limited capital. Access to bank loans is difficult for MSMEs
to get because banks see the size of the business and the many requirements when applying for
a loan from a bank. Therefore, if the size of the company gets bigger, it will make it easier to
access loans from external parties and vice versa.
Research with the title factors affecting capital structure has been done before. One of his
studies was conducted by Ferdina Watiningsih (2018) which shows that "profitability has a
negative and significant effect on capital structure, company size has a positive and significant
effect on capital structure, reliability has a positive and significant effect on capital structure,

company growth has a positive and insignificant effect on capital structure, Capital structure,
as well as profitability, company size, reliability, and company growth simultaneously have a
significant influence on the capital structure of banks listed on the IDX in 2008-2016 ”.
The results of the study are different from those from Samuel Nduati Kariuki and Charles
Guandaru Kamau (2014) where the results show that company growth has a positive and
significant effect on capital structure, company size has a negative and significant effect on
capital structure, profitability has a positive and significant effect on structure. Capital, and
asset structure have a positive and insignificant effect on the capital structure of food and
beverage companies in Kenya.
In addition, the results of research from Wayan Wardita and Made Purba Astakoni (2018)
show that profitability has a negative and significant effect on capital structure, growth rates
have a negative and significant effect on capital structure, and company size has a positive and
significant effect on capital structure. Furthermore, research conducted by Argi Alvareza and
Topowijono (2017) shows the results of company size have a significant effect on capital
structure, profitability has no significant effect on capital structure, and company growth has a
significant effect on capital structure.
Based on the background previously described, the formulation of the problem in this study
are:
1. Does profitability affect the capital structure?
2. Does company growth affect the capital structure?
3. Does the size of the company affect the capital structure?
The purpose of this study is to find empirical evidence whether profitability, company
growth, and company size affect the capital structure of manufacturing companies listed on the
IDX in 2017-2018.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Capital Structure
Capital structure is a combination or balance between debt and equity (preferred stock and
common stock) that a company uses to plan to acquire capital (Ambarwati, 2010). The capital
structure is a description of the form of the company's financial proportion, namely between
the capital owned by long-term liabilities and its own capital (shareholders' equity) which is
the source of financing for a company. (Fahmi, 2011).
Companies in operating their business in conjunction with developments that occur
generally require additional capital. When the company is established, the owner can choose
from which sources of funds will be used, whether the one chosen is from his own capital or
requires a loan from an external party. Every decision taken will always have an impact.
Therefore, certain considerations are needed by the company to regulate the mix of capital
sources that will be used (Astuti, 2004).
Profitability
Profitability is a ratio that has the use of measuring the potential of a company to generate
profits from its usual business activities (Hery, 2016). The ability to get company profits with
existing company resources can be interpreted as profitability (Harahap, 2010).
Profitability ratio analysis is usually used to answer the following questions (Samryn,
2012):
1. The company's ability to earn gross profit
198 Septy Dwi Indah Sari, dkk/Jurnal Akuntansi, Perpajakan, dan Auditing, Vol. 1, No. 2, Desember 2020, hal 195-203
Firm Growth
Company growth is the development a company makes when running its business.
Company growth can also be interpreted as changes that occur in the company when running
its business in terms of sales growth and company profits (Pearce & Robinson, 2008). In
addition, company growth is a stage in the life cycle of the company where the company is able
to get a source of income (Wisnu, 2019).
According to Aisjah (2012), company growth is highly expected because it will have a
positive impact on internal and external parties of the company. From an investor's point of
view, a company's growth is a notification that the company has profitable opportunities and
the expectation of a better return.
Firm Size
Company size can be interpreted as a picture of the size of the company as measured by
total assets, total sales, and average total assets. In general, companies are divided into three
categories, namely large, medium, and small companies (Wati, 2019). Sholichah stated that the
ratio of the size of a business in a company or organization can be called the size of the
company. In addition, Prasetyorini classified the size of a company as determined by its total
assets, stock market value, and others. (Hery, 2017).
According to Subroto (2014) large companies have advantages over small companies,
where large companies have a lot of resources so that they will be more resilient when
economic turmoil and not easily bankrupt. However, large companies have bigger
consequences if they go bankrupt so there is likely a role for the government to help.
Framework
The Effect of Profitability on Capital Structure
Companies that have a high rate of return on investment that will use debt tend to be less
(Brigham & Houston, 2013). According to Hanafi (2004) profitability is one of the factors that
can affect the capital structure. Besides that, Vuran et al. (2017) argues based on the pecking
order theory which states that a profitable company does not have to depend on external funds,
the company will prefer to use internal funds from past accumulated profits.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The method used in this research is quantitative method. The scope used is a manufacturing
company listed on the IDX in 2017-2018. The data used is secondary data obtained from the
company's annual report. The data source is taken from the website www.idx.co.id.
The sampling technique used in this study was nonprobability sampling with a purposive
sampling method. The criteria used by researchers are:
1. Manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2017-2018
2. Manufacturing companies that publish the 2017-2018 annual report on the IDX
3. Manufacturing companies that reported positive profits during 2017-2018
Based on these three criteria and seeing Issac Michael's table with an error rate of 5%, the
number of samples obtained is 78 companies. Data processing using SPSS software.
The capital structure in this study is proxied by DER (Debt to Equity Ratio) (Fahmi, 2011;
Farid, 2017; Sugeng, 2017), profitability is proxied by ROA (Return On Assets) (Hanafi &
Halim, 2018; Hery, 2018; Prawironegoro, 2010), company growth is proxied by sales growth
(Poernawarman, 2015; Tambunan, 2008; Wati, 2019), and firm size is proxied by the natural
logarithm of total assets (Asnawi & Wijaya, 2005; Sayidah, 2018; Wati, 2019).
Data Analysis
Descriptive statistics transform raw data into a form that makes it easy for readers to
understand and interpret the meaning of the data or numbers displayed. Its main use is to
describe answers to answers from observations (Sarwono, 2006). This study uses the minimum,
maximum, mean, standard deviation, and frequency distribution values.
Hypothesis Test
The Effect of Profitability on Capital Structure
Partial hypothesis testing on profitability as proxied by Return on Assets produces a
significance value of 0.021 < 0.05 and t count > t table (2.071 > 1.993), Ho is rejected. This
means that there is a positive and significant influence on the capital structure.
This can happen because if company profits increase, external parties will increase their
confidence in the company's ability to pay off loans.
The results of this study are in line with the results of research conducted by Lara Al Ashry
and Halkadri Fitra (2019) dan Ngatemin, et al. (2019).
An increase in sales will cause income and profits to increase so that the company can
cover operating costs and pay off company debts and increase its own capital.
The results of this study are in line with the results of research conducted by Wayan
Wardita and Made Purba Astakoni (2018).
CONCLUSION
Based on the formulation of the problem, hypothesis testing, and previous discussion, the
conclusions obtained are:
1. Profitability has a positive and significant effect on capital structure.
2. Company growth has a negative and significant effect on capital structure.
3. Company size has a positive and significant effect on capital structure.
RECOMMENDATION
1. For companies, the independent variables in this study has a significant influence on the
capital structure so that it can be used as a consideration for making decisions about the use
of optimal capital structures.
2. For investors, before investing in a company, it is necessary to pay attention to the capital
structure owned by the company and to know its positive and negative impacts.
3. For future researchers, it is hoped that it can expand the scope of research on the factors
that affect the capital structure. The factors that affect the capital structure vary widely,
including asset structure, business risk, taxes, liability, dividend policy and others.
