This research aims to detect the determining factor of capital structure in Wholesaler and Retailer subsector in Indonesia. There are 44 companies used as the research sample; they are the wholesaler and retailer companies as listed in BEI (Indonesia Stock Exchange) during 2013-2017. The data analysis used logistic regression and ANOVA test. The result shows that the sales growth and profitability could be the determining factor in company capital structure. The sales growth has negative effect toward the capital structure. This implies that the higher sales growth, the lesser the debt usage. Besides, profitability has negative effect toward the capital structure. This indicates that the companies with profitability increased would reduce the debt usage as the profit would be used as funding to keep the innovation going in the company. The research result also shows that there are no differences in firm’s values between the high-debt-funding companies and the low-debt-funding companies. This supports the Modigliani-Miller theory which stated that the capital structure doesn’t affect the firm’s values.  Keywords: capital structure, sales growth, profitability
This research finds out how profitability plays to the firm value, both as a factor that directly affects and also as a factor that can mediate the structure of capital, the growth of the company and the size of the company to the value of the company. The research population is a food and beverage sub-sector company registered in the IDX Period 2015-2019. Using the purposive sampling method, the research sample used 12 companies and there were 60 observed data. This study used regression analysis of panel 2 SLS data. Results show GLS (Generalized Least Square) with Random Effect Model as the best estimates model. Results showed that profitability affects the value of the company while the capital structure, company’s growth and size have no effect on the firm value. Profitability can mediate the influence of capital structure and size on the firm value, but profitability does not mediate the influence of a company's growth on the firm value.
Dividend policy is a critical and imperative decision because it involves the shareholders interest’s and has a significant impact to company's sustainability. Sartono (2010) states that dividend policy is a decision whether the profits obtained by the company will be distributed to shareholders as dividend or will be held in the form of retained earnings for future investment.Brigham and Gapenski (2006) state that investor’s main purpose when investing their fund is to gain income or return either as dividend yield or as capital gain. On the other side, the company who will share the dividend will be faced with various consideration: the urge to retain some profit for a more promising re-investment, the company funding, company liquidity, shareholder’s characteristic, specific target related to dividend payment ratio, and other factors related to dividend policy.Based on the definition mentioned above, it can be concluded that dividend policy is influenced by two conflicting interests; the shareholders interest with their dividend and the company interest to do re-investment by retaining the profit. Therefore, dividends paid will depend on each company’s considerations.In general, the shareholders wish to have a relatively stable dividend share to minimize the uncertainty of expected investment result and to increase the shareholder’s trust toward the company so that the stock value will rise. The company dividend policy can be reflected by the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR), which is the profit percentage shared in the form of cash dividend. It means that the size of the DPR, either big or small, will affect the shareholder’s decision and to the contrary it will also affect the company financial condition. Improper decisions will potentially envisage company facing funding difficulties in the future.According to Brigham and Gapenski (2006), the optimum dividend policy is the dividend policy which creating balance between the current dividend and its growth in the future so the company stock price can be maximized.Lintner (1956) argue that the company ability to gain profit is the main indicator of the company ability to pay dividend. So, the profitability is the most determining factor toward dividend. But some other research mention that the companies tend to choose new investment instead of paying high dividend if their condition are great, well-developed and have high profitability.The rapid growth of Islamic Finance become the first-rate consideration of choosing Jakarta Islamic Index stocks as the object research in which this research aimed to improve investor’s understanding related to dividend policy of sharia stocks member of Jakarta Islamic Index.
