A wide variation in profitability exists between farmers across New Zealand. Not all of this variation can be simply attributed to land class, absolute production levels or debt levels. Understanding what makes one farmer profitable when another struggles to break even is necessary to enable the development of programmes and support to improve the overall sector's profitability. This paper reports on the results of exploratory analysis on North Island hard hill country to identify what factors are linked to the large variation in profitability observed between farms. The exploratory analysis used simple correlation analysis to study the relationship between selected farm attributes to identify those that appear most important to determining overall farm profitability. The initial results indicated that on Class 3 farms stocking rate, sheep to cattle ratio and lambing percentage are important variables related to profit. As with any business, realising the profit potential of a farm is the combination of a well thought through strategy and sound execution. The variables identified in this exploratory analysis are core parts of the strategy, but to realise the profit potential, implementing these has to be tailored to the farm. Keywords: profit, hill country, stocking rate, sheep to cattle ratio, lambing percentage, EBITR (Earnings before Interest, Tax and Rent)

This study aims: to determine the relationship between visitor occupancy rates and the income level of owners of tourist homestays in Bontomarannu Village, Uluere District, Bantaeng Regency. The analytical method used 1) Simple Regression Analysis which is to find out the form of relationship between visitor occupancy rates (X) and owners (Y) income. 2) Simple correlation analysis is used to determine the closeness of relationship between two variables and to find out the direction of the relationship that occurs. 3) The Determination Coefficient can be used to find out how much the percentage of homestay relationships (variable X) to owners (Y) income. The results of this study indicate: 1) The number of visitors both local and foreign tourists fluctuate every month, except for 2 consecutive months, namely in April - May 2017 experiencing a decrease due to coinciding with the holy month of Ramadan and Idhul Fitri the majority of people in the village of Bontomarannu, are Muslim. 2) Based on the results of the calculation of correlation analysis, then r = 0.99, which means that there has been a perfect and positive linear relationship between variables x and y variables. 3) Based on the calculation in table t for a 5% error at df = n-2, obtained t table 1.701. It turns out that t count is 23.30> t table 1.701 thus, then the alternative hypothesis  is accepted and null hypothesis  is rejected, the conclusion is significant relationship between occupancy rate of visitors and income level of owners.

This study aims to analyze the factors that determine the Human Development Index (HDI), to analyze the relationship between HDI and infrastructure spending, and to analyze the relationship between infrastructure spending and economic growth in districts/cities in Jambi Province. The data used in this study are secondary data with the type of Time Series 2012-2018 and Cross Section 11 districts/cities. This study uses Panel Data Multiple Regression Analysis and Simple Correlation Analysis using the E-views 10 tool. The results of this study indicate that the HDI of districts/cities in Jambi Province increases every year, partially the ratio of teachers to students, number of health facilities, and density. The population has a positive and significant effect in determining HDI. While the poverty factor has a negative but not statistically significant effect in determining the HDI of districts/cities in Jambi Province with an R-Square value of 0.9312. The relationship between HDI and infrastructure spending has a negative and insignificant effect, which means that an increase in infrastructure spending will increase the decrease in the value of HDI. The relationship between growth spending and economic growth has a positive and significant effect, which means that an increase in the value of infrastructure spending will increase the value of economic growth.

SummaryAs part of a population study on chronic lung disease in the Netherlands, an investigation is made of the relationship of both age and sex with indices describing the maximum expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) curve. To determine the relationship, non-linear canonical correlation was used as realized in the computer program CANALS, a combination of ordinary canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and non-linear transformations of the variables. This method enhances the generality of the relationship to be found and has the advantage of showing the relative importance of categories or ranges within a variable with respect to that relationship. The above is exemplified by describing the relationship of age and sex with variables concerning respiratory symptoms and smoking habits. The analysis of age and sex with MEFV curve indices shows that non-linear canonical correlation analysis is an efficient tool in analysing size and shape of the MEFV curve and can be used to derive parameters concerning the whole curve.

This study examines the influence of receivables on liquidity at PT. Graha Tumarima. Sukabumi City for 5 years, with a sampling technique using a purposive sample in the form of financial statement data from 2010 to 2014 using a table of trade receivables and company liquidity. In this study, researchers refer to the theory of Bambang Riyanto (2008: 94) as the connecting theory of the title. This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship and influence between receivables and liquidity at PT. Graha Tumarima. The research design uses the method of exposing the facto, the method of data collection aims to test the hypothesis by using correlation analysis, determination, regression and hypothesis testing with t-test. The results of this study show the influence of receivables on liquidity is shown by the value of r = 0.888, meaning that receivables have a very strong relationship to liquidity. The nature of the relationship is positive, meaning that if the value of cooperative credit is higher the liquidity will be higher. Conversely, if the value of receivables decreases, liquidity will decrease. The magnitude of the influence of receivables on liquidity is shown by the value of R Square / Determination Coefficient of 0.789 or 78.9% thus the receivables have an effect of 78.9% on cooperative liquidity. Hypothesis testing uses the t test, that t arithmetic = 3.347 while t table = 3.182 means t arithmetic> t table. Means that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. There is an influence between the receivables on liquidity at PT. Graha Tumarima, Sukabumi City
