The aim of this study is to further develop the behavioral theory of the firm into the context of sticky cost research. The company’s actions in managing resources can be explained through the concept of attainment discrepancy level and resource slack in the behavioral theory of the firm explaining the company’s sticky costs. This study also examines the effect of attainment discrepancy levels, both historical and social, on cost behavior between slack dimensions and overall slack. To examine it, this study used 2,416 observations data from 302 companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange during 2009-2017. Using Eviews 10, the estimation results of the regression model based on HAC find that the attainment of discrepancy level and resource slack affects sticky costs. Specifically, this study found that historical attainment discrepancy level causes sticky cost behavior to decrease, whereas social attainment discrepancy level increases cost behavior to become more sticky cost. The effect of resource slack on sticky cost behavior is reduced, both for each slack dimension and for the overall slack. Furthermore, the results show that the existence of certain types of slack, namely unabsorbed slack, increases the company’s sticky cost behavior when it is associated with historical attainment discrepancy levels. To sum up, these results indicate that the firm makes internal business processes as the focus of attention in managing the company’s resources. As a consequence, this situation can be used as an alternative explanation for the company’s asymmetric cost behavior.
This study aimed to investigate the difference between the full costing method and the variable costing method in calculating the cost of production of some MSMEs products sold in Aceh Besar. The type of research is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. The subject of this research is two types of MSMEs that are engaged in handicrafts and food processing, known as Tahu Bang Lam, Tahu Garot, Galery Polem Awee, and Raga Tanyo. The data analysis method in this research is descriptive qualitative. The research data were obtained from interviews with MSMEs owners directly. The result of this study showed that the calculations of the cost of production by using full costing and variable costing methods are different. The full costing method generates a higher selling price than the variable costing method. Furthermore, the full costing method is easier to understand than the variable costing method, since many MSMEs still struggle to identify fixed and variable factory overhead costs.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the SIMDA application using Delone and Mclean (2003) theory. The variables in the Delone and Mclean (2003) model are system quality, information quality, service quality, and intention to use in user satisfaction. The population in this study were all Regional Work Units (SKPD) in the Langsa City area of Aceh. The sampling technique of this study used non-probability sampling. Respondents who became the object of this study were the parties most responsible for the SIMDA so that 76 respondents. Data analysis using multiple linear regression with SPSS 21. The results of this study indicate that (1) system quality, information quality, service quality, and user interest simultaneously affect user satisfaction, (2) system quality partially affects user satisfaction, (3) information quality partially affects user satisfaction, (4) service quality partially affects user satisfaction, (5) user interest partially affects user satisfaction. The results indicate that the SIMDA application is quite successful.
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji pengaruh perubahan anggaran pendapatan asli daerah (PAD), dana perimbangan (DP), dan sisa anggaran (SiLPA) terhadap perubahan anggaran belanja (PAB) pada pemerintah daerah. Data sekunder yang digunakan bersumber dari dokumen peraturan derah tentang perubahan Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Daerah (APBD) di Indonesia yang diperoleh melalui internet untuk tahun anggaran 2013. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh kabupaten/kota dengan sampel sebanyak 70 pemerintah daerah, yang dipilih secara purposive dengan pencarian di Google. Pengujian hipotesis menggunakan model regresi linear berganda. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa PAD, DP, dan SiLPA secara sendiri-sendiri dan bersama-sama berpengaruh terhadap perubahan anggaran belanja daerah. Implikasi terhadap riset berikutnya adalah perlunya dilakukan analisis mendalam tentang kebijakan perubahan anggaran belanja yang dikaitkan dengan anggaran pendapatan awal dan SiLPA karena adanya kecenderungan terjadi moral hazard dalam proses penentuan prioritas belanja daerah pada pejabat daerah.
