Effective financial management and optimal capital structure are important for companies to obtain better operational performance. The purpose of this study is the review of the most important theories in terms of optimal financial structure and to explore the most important factors affecting decisions in that area. A bad decision about the capital structure may lead to financial lack of balance and even to bankruptcy. There are many alternative theories on how to build optimal capital structures, which, as indicated by practice, may occur to be insufficient. There is no significant studies that clearly indicate the determinants of a particular solution in the financial structure of companies, especially those referred to as startup companies, mainly because of specifics of that group of companies. It is not possible to indicate which of the leading approaches to the capital structure more fully describes the decisions of start‑ups as to the financing structure. Nevertheless, the results indicate that managers of companies often include similar decisions competitors and modulate the policy of his company within the capital structure for a particular, market standard, which is confirmed by Abdulsaleh and Worthington.

Rahmad Fuadiantoni, Student Identity Number 152140102, Business Administration Study Program, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, National Development University "Veteran" Yogyakarta. Title of research Analysis of Factors Affecting Capital Structure of Coal Companies Listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange Period 2012-2016. Advisor Suratna and IndroHerry Mulyanto.This study aims to determine the factors that affect the capital structure of coal companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange either partially or simultaneously. This type of research is explanatory research. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. Of the 22 coal companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, only 19 companies were taken as samples, because they have complete financial statements for 2012-2016. The analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis, which was previously tested with the classical assumption test and hypothesis testing using partial t test, simultaneous F test with a level of significance of 5%.The result of this research, asset structure has significant effect to capital structure. This is evidenced by a significance value of 0.017 (p ≤ 0.05). Operating leverage has a significant effect on capital structure. This is evidenced by a significance value of 0.036 (p ≤ 0.05). The level of sales growth has a significant effect on capital structure. This is evidenced by a significance value of 0.028 (p ≤ 0.05). Profitability has a significant effect on capital structure. This is evidenced by the significance value of 0.032 (p ≤ 0.05). Liquidity significantly affects the capital structure. This is evidenced by a significance value of 0.029 (p ≤ 0.05). Asset structure, operating leverage, sales growth rate, profitability, and liquidity simultaneously have a significant effect on the capital structure. This is evidenced by the significance value of F of 0.000 (p ≤ 0.05).          Conclusion, partially asset structure variables, operating leverage, sales growth rates, profitability, and liquidity have a significant effect on the capital structure. While simultaneously asset structure variables, operating leverage, sales growth rates, profitability (ROA), and liquidity have a significant effect on the capital structure. Research suggestions, for companies, companies should have plans and strategies in financial management to establish an optimal capital structure in order to maximize company profits and value. For financial management in determining the optimal capital structure should consider the factors that affect the capital structure of the asset structure, operating leverage, the level of sales growth, profitability, and liquidity. By considering these factors it is expected that the management will be easier in determining the optimal capital structure. For the researcher, for the next research should be able to use or add variables and samples in order to get better results and extend the period or time period in the observation, because the opportunity to obtain more information.

When forming the optimal capital structure, the choice of methods, approaches, tools is important, which is determined by a set of initial conditions, the need to perform the tasks, achieving results / strategic guidelines. The purpose of the article is to systematize scientific approaches to optimize the capital structure, to clarify the impact of factors on the capital structure of the corporation, which will serve as a basis for ensuring the optimal level of capital structure. As a result of the research, the views of scientists on the optimization of capital structure are systematized, the key aspects of the three main approaches to such optimization are singled out and described. The approaches used in determining financial leverage are described. The expediency of determining financial leverage through the ratio of EPS – earnings per share and EBIT – earnings before interest and taxes is substantiated. The most common methods of capital structure optimization are identified: the method of capital expenditures (the method of minimizing the weighted average cost of capital); the method of determining the effect of financial leverage or the method of maximizing the level of financial profitability; method of determining the complex operational and financial leverage; EBIT-EPS valuation method, Du Pont method, operating profit method and adjusted present value method. Their features, advantages and disadvantages of use are described. The factors influencing financial leverage are systematized, the positive or negative influence of each of the determined factors on financial leverage is determined. A matrix of factors that determine the optimal capital structure in terms of the environment (internal or external) and the implementation of financial policy (at the strategic or operational-tactical levels).

The article is devoted to the study of methodological and practical approaches to optimizing the capital structure as a tool for managing the value of dairy enterprises. It is established that the most common and suitable for research in the context of optimizing the capital structure are two theories: compromise and the theory of the hierarchy of funding sources. It is argued that compromise models are not designed to accurately determine the optimal capital structure of the enterprise, but allow that the owners from the standpoint of risk is most advantageous to rank sources of funding as follows: retained earnings; debt sources; equity instruments, shares. It is proved that only in the complex use of approaches of foreign theories of capital structure optimization and developments of domestic scientists taking into account the environment of business entities it is possible to develop effective tools for maximizing the market value of the enterprise, minimizing the average market value of capital and risk of financial stability. The calculation of the integrated indicator of financial stability is offered, which allows to determine the level of the financial stability reserve, which allows to take into account the industry specifics and to carry out current monitoring of financial stability at the enterprise. It is substantiated that one of the methods of quantitative assessment of capital structure and substantiation of its optimal structure is the method of capital expenditures. It is argued that the estimated weighted average cost of capital varies in a fairly narrow range, is one of the key factors in the value of business, and achieving a minimum level of such a barrier rate increases the company's ability to make effective investments. It is established that determining the optimal financial structure of capital is one of the most difficult problems of financial management of dairy enterprises. It was found that the management of the formation and use of capital of dairy enterprises is focused on meeting the needs of sources of financing of their economic activities, and to achieve a balanced structure of sources of financing of capital by economic entities is possible only on the basis of optimization criteria. It is proved that the calculation of the weighted average cost of capital based on the capital assets model (CAPM) should be used provided reliable information on intra-industry indicators, in a developed stock market and the turnover of shares in the securities market. Key words: capital structure. cost of capital, cost management, dairy enterprises.

PurposeThis paper presents a model for determining the optimal capital structure for cooperatives and explores the relationship between financial leverage and the ability of cooperatives to retire member equity.Design/methodology/approachA model is developed to determine the optimal capital structure and explore the relationship between capital structure and the rate at which a cooperative can retire member equity. Using data from cooperative financial statements, ordinary least-squares regressions are conducted to test two hypotheses on capital structure and equity retirement.FindingsThe model shows that the optimal capital structure is determined by the ratio of the rate of return on capital employed to the interest rate on borrowed capital and the required level of interest coverage. The regressions suggest that cooperatives choose their capital structure largely according to the rate of return on capital employed and the interest rate in a manner consistent with maximizing the rate of return on equity and that the rate at which cooperatives can retire member equity is directly related to leverage.Research limitations/implicationsThe model does not consider unallocated earnings. Analysis of the relationship between leverage and equity retirement yields results contrary to the assumptions of earlier studies.Practical implicationsCooperatives can use the model because the necessary parameters are easily understood and readily available from financial statements, lenders and industry sources.Originality/valueThe model is developed specifically for determining the capital structure of cooperatives and differs substantially from the corporate model. A theoretical basis is provided for the relationship between leverage and equity retirement.
