Abstract This study aimed to describe the influence of customer satisfaction, efficiency and optimal capital structure to the increase of the performance of transportation companies in Indonesia. The study was designed in the relationship between variables. The data used is secondary data obtained from the Indonesian Capital Market Directory (ICMD) and the website of 22 companies that were used as samples for 3 years. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics analysis to test the hypothesis. The result showed that the efficiency affected customer satisfaction and was reflected in the sales growth of the company. However, it did not have an impact on the level of capital structure as reflected in DER and the performance which reflected in ROA. We also found that there was an indirect effect on the efficiency of the capital structure and performance through customer satisfaction. We also found that there is a significant indirect influence on the efficiency and the performance through customer satisfaction and capital structure. Customer satisfaction capital affects the structure. When customer satisfaction is high, which is reflected in higher sales growth aspect, it will have an impact on the high capital structure, which is reflected in DER. The result shows that customer satisfaction has an effect on the performance. When customer satisfaction is high, which is reflected in higher sales growth aspect, it will have an impact on the high performance, which is reflected in aspects of ROA. The result also indicates that capital structure affects the performance. When a capital structure is high, which is reflected by the high DER aspects, it will impact on the high performance, which is reflected on aspects of ROA.

This study investigates the existence of an optimal capital structure for small and medium enterprise (SME) hotels through the analysis of the relationship between financing decisions and financial performance in a large sample of Italian hotel SMEs. The results show that hotel SMEs face an optimal capital structure that allows them to maximize returns to investors, while instead having both too little and too much debt reduces their financial performance. This notwithstanding, we show that hotel SMEs are not particularly concerned with optimizing their capital structure, and their funding behavior is deeply connected with the availability of internally available funds, a typical pecking order behavior, and they result extremely slow in converging toward their optimal level of leverage so that they could improve their performance by adopting a more sophisticated financial strategy.

The study examines how debt financing affects the leverage and performance relationship of the textile sector of Pakistan. The study also strives to elaborate the determinants of debt financing. Data has been collected from the annual reports of the textile companies listed at Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSE) for the years 2010-2015. Panel data techniques including Pooled OLS, Fixed Effect model, Random Effect model, and Moderated Panel Regression model were used for estimating the relationship between debt ratio, leverage and company-specific variables such as profitability and size. The results depict that the listed textile companies of Pakistan financed more than half of its assets by external borrowing. There is high asset tangibility in the Pakistani textile industry. The tax shield, which is the alternative of depreciation, is limited for the textile firms of Pakistan (Qamar, Farooq, Afzal & Akhtar, 2016). The independent variables’ interaction term with debt ratio shows a positive relationship with ROA other than asset tangibility. The trade-off theory suggests to follow a targeted optimal capital structure which is more favorable for a firm. Pakistani textile industry should adopt the model of optimal capital structure for balancing the costs and benefits.

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.

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.

Every company has a long-term goal to maximize the value of the company, which also means to maximize  the prosperity of its shareholders. One of the ways to achieve this goal is to determine the optimal capital structure. The optimal capital structure allows the company to bear the low average cost of the capital. Therefore, the decision of capital structure is one of the most important decisions.Go public manufacturing companies in Indonesia Stock Exchange are divided into two groups; the sharia and non-sharia companies. Sharia companies, including the sharia manufacturing ones, have specific rule in the use of funds as the company capital. The rule states that the maximum use of usury-based debt is by 45%. At the same time, the theories about capital structure and research results support the use of debt as the main source of funds. This study used data obtained from the Indonesian Capital Market Directory and Summary of Company Performance for the period of 2011-2017. They were analyzed by using panel data for multiple regression analysis and difference tests. The results show significant differences between sharia and non-sharia manufacturing companies with a probability of 0,000. Moreover, almost all determinant factors such as Size, Tangibility, Profitability, and Gross Domestic Product have significant effects on Book Leverage as an indicator of Capital Structure for both groups of companies.

In this article, the author will outline several stages of the process of determining optimal capital structure and will concentrate in particular on the first two stages of this process – analysis of company's borrowed capital and equity as well as the evaluation of the main factors, which influence capital structure. It is important to stress these preparatory stages, because successful operation of the company is built on properly understanding the relationship between risk and potential reward that is inherent in different alternatives of capital structure. These stages stress the importance of gathering reliable financial information about the company (enabling calculation of the ratios mentioned in the article) and performing risk analysis (relying in part on the external and internal factors described in the article) in order to decide on the optimal capital structure. The author cautions that rapid economics growth in Latvia will at least slow down over time. Managers need to take that into account, when planning capital structure and therefore avoid increasing their leverage to dangerous levels.

The optimal capital structure is conceptualized as a basic framework pertinent to acquiring, utilizing, and contributing financial resources of the organization. The estimation and maintenance of the capital structure of a firm are the integral managerial decisions that could ultimately affect the future of the organizations. No doubt, the potential of profitability is the first thing for its future growth and to inculcate a sense of confidence among investors to invest in the firms. This study aims at examining the nexus between capital structure and profitability of firms in the context of the Oil & Gas sector of Pakistan. The sample of this research is comprised of the top five top-performing firms of the Oil & Gas sector for a period of ten years (2006-2015). Keeping in view the explanatory orientation of this research, quantitative research approach was employed. In order to achieve study objectives, the secondary data were extracted from the financial statements of the firms under study and data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and correlation coefficients. During data analysis, the profitability of the firm was measured in terms of Gross Profit Ratio (GPR), Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and Return on Equity (ROE). Whereas, the capital structure was measured in terms of Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio and Debt to Total Funds (D/TF) ratio. The findings drawn from this study revealed a negative linkage among various dimensions of the capital structure of firms and their profitability potential in the context of the Oil & Gas sector of Pakistan. Primarily, this study findings corroborated that sample firms under study brought sudden changes in the composition of their debt and equity mix (capital structure) that significantly threatened the profitability of firms. The study suggests that selected firms understudy the need to adopt consistent capital structure policies with a clear understanding of future profitability. Financial managers need to focus on developing prudent optimal capital structure and avoid making abrupt changes in the debt and equity mix of firms.
