I. INTRODUCTION
Background
The rapid development of business and industry has led to increasingly fierce competition
not only within the country but also among countries. For this reason, the company management
must be able to deal with and adapt to developments that occur by being able to utilize all of its
resources. The more open the international market, the company must be able to expand the
market and open opportunities to increase capital, through the capital market.
Every company should pay attention to the capital component owned . If the company has
debt funding that is greater than its capital, then it willincrease the risk and generally the owner
of the company wants a large return, even though the company has debt on the debtor. Regarding
to the debt, even large company is inseparable from debt.In the business world not everything
runs smoothly, leverage means a lever or heaver (literally), a lever is usually used to help lift a
heavy burden (Hanafi, 2016: 327) in financial leverage,it aims to increase expected profits.
Generally, the company founded to achieve the goal, which is to make a profit. The profits
obtained are used for business development and shared with company owners. The profit and
loss statement is a financial statement that shows that a company earning profits or suffering
losses. Through this statement, it can be known the company's financial performance, especially
as seen from the financial performance that is increasing. If the company achieves good
performance, it will attract more investors.
Liquidity ratio is a ratio that illustrates the company's ability to meet short-term obligations
(debt). Both obligations to external company (business entity liquidity) and internalcompany
(company liquidity).In this case, the liquidity ratio used is the Current Ratio (CR). Kasmir (2015:
134) states that Current Ratio is a ratio to measure a company's ability to pay short-term
obligations or debt that is due immediately when billed as a whole. In other words, how much
current assets are available to cover short-term liabilities that are immediately due.

PT. Menara Nusantara in 2009-2018
While solvency ratio is measuring a company's ability to meet the long-term obligations, a
company that is not solvable is a company which the total debt is greater than its total
assets.Generally, the solvency ratio used is Debt to Equity Ratio (DER). Whereas, the Net Profit
Margin (NPM) is one of the ratios used to measure the profit margin on sales.The way to
measure this ratio is to compare net profit after tax with net sales. This ratio is also known as the
profit margin.
The following are empirical data on PT. Menara Nusantara in 2016-2018 relates to the
variables used in this research, namely: Current Ratio, Debt to Equity Ratio, and Net Profit
Margin. They can be seen in the following table:
Based on the table above, it shows the value of the Current Ratio (CR) every year has
decreased, it is mean that the company each year is less able to meet or pay short-term
obligations properly.While the value of Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) has also decreased every
year, it is mean that the company has sufficient funding to finance its assets and can pay it on
time.Whereas the Net Profit Margin (NPM) at PT. Menara Nusantara shows an increasing and
decreasing trend every year which means the company is not getting a profit because the
company's management is ineffective and inefficient in terms of sales levels.
Research Question
Based on the background that has been described above, the research question is: How is the
effect of the Current Ratio and Debt to Equity Ratio both simultaneously and partially on Net
Profit Margin at PT. Menara Nusantara in 2009-2018?
Research Objective
The objective of this research is to find out the effect of the Current Ratio and Debt to
Equity Ratio both simultaneously and partially on Net Profit Margin at PT. Menara Nusantara in
2009-2018.
Benefits of Research
A research must have benefits, as for the expected benefits for the company, namely: as
input to management, especially in making corporate investment decisions by using its capital to
develop its business.While academically this research is expected to be used as reference
material for other researchers who want to conduct the research with the same problem.

THEORETICAL BASIS
Financial Management
Many experts who define financial management, such as James C. Van Home in Kasmir
(2016: 5) states that financial management is all activities related to the acquisition, funding, and
management of assets with some overall objectives.Furthermore, according to Sutrisno (2015: 3)
states that financial management or often called expenditure can be interpreted as all company
activities related to efforts to get funds at low cost and efforts to use and allocate these funds
efficiently.
Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that financial management is the way
how to obtain assets, fund assets, manage assets to achieve overall corporate goals.
There are three main functions of financial management decision making according to
Harjito and Martono (2015: 4), namely decisions relating to investment, funding decisions, and
asset management decisions. Funding decisions, in this decision financial managers are required
to consider and analyze a combination of economic sources of funds for the company to finance
investment needs and business activities (Sutrisno, 2015: 5). The funding decision itself is
related to the number of funds that must be provided by the company, both debt, and equity.
Financial Performance
The performance of a company can be reflected through the performance that has achieved
in a certain period. According to the Indonesian Dictionary, performance is (1) something that is
achieved (2) performance shown (3) workability ".The performance is an important thing that
must be achieved by every company everywhere because performance is a reflection of the
company's ability to manage and allocate its resources. Financial performance is a description of
the financial condition of a company that is analyzed with financial analysis tools so that it can
be known about the good and bad financial condition of a company that reflects work
performance in a certain period.Furthermore, Fahmi (2016: 2) states that financial performance
is an analysis conducted to see the extent to which a company has implemented financial
management by using the rules of financial implementation properly and correctly ".

information that describes the financial performance of a company to the parties concerned and
used as a reference for decision making in the coming period.
Fraser and Ormiston in Fahmi (2015: 22) state that "a corporate annual statement consists of
four main financial statements", namely: balance sheet, profit and loss statement, equity
statement, and cash flow statement.
Current Ratio
Irham Fahmi (2015: 121) states that the Current Ratio is a commonly used measure of short-
term solvency, the ability of a company to meet debt needs when due. Whereas, Sugiono and
Untung (2016: 58) define the Current Ratio is the ratio used to determine the extent to which a
company's current assets are used to pay off current liabilities that will be due or paid
immediately.Prastowo (2015: 74) states that the current ratio is the elements used in the
calculation of working capital by comparing between total current assets and current debt.
Furthermore, Kasmir (2015: 135) formulates the current ratio as follows:
Current Assets
Current Ratio =
Current Liabilities)
Current Ratio is affected by several things. If a company sells securities classified as current
assets and uses cash obtained to finance the company's acquisition of another company or other
activity, the current ratio may decrease.

The solvency ratio or leverage ratio according to Kasmir (2015: 158) is a ratio used to
measure the extent to which a company's assets are financed with debt. This means how much
debt burden is borne by the company compared to its assets. The formula to find Debt to Equity
Ratio can be used a comparison between total debt with total equity, namely:
Net Profit
NET PROFIT MARGIN =
Sales
Theoritical Framework
The theoretical framework proposed in this research aims to facilitate understanding of
thought. The picture of theoretical framework as follows:
Picture.1Theoritical Framework
Hypothesis
Noor (2015: 89) states that the hypothesis is a temporary answer to the research question.
Thus, there is a link between the formulation of the problem with the hypothesis, because the
formulation of the problem is a research question. The research hypothesis is formulated as
follows: there is an effect between Current Ratio and Debt to Equity Ratio, both simultaneously
and partiallyon the Net Profit Margin at PT. Menara Nusantara.

METHODOLOGY
Research Design
The research design is essentially a design or blueprint for conducting a research, both
simultaneously and partially. It is simultaneously all the processes required in planning and
implementing research, while partially it is a depiction of the relationship or effect between
variables, collection, and analysis data, so that it can easily explain the interrelationships
between variables in the research.
Sugiono (2018: 37) states that associative causality research is a research that shows a
causal relationship where there are independent variables (variables that influence) and
dependent variables (variables that influenced). Based on the type, this research is quantitative,
which the data is in the form of numbers.
Research Variable
Kerlinger in Sugiono (2018: 38) states that variables are constructs or properties that will
be studied, this research consists of two variables: Independent variables in the form of Current
Ratio (X1) and Debt to Equity Ratio (X2), and the dependent variable in this research is Net
Profit Margin (Y).

Regression Testing
a. Simple Linear Regression
Simple linear regression analysis aims to predict the value of the dependent variable
influenced by the independent variable. (Sofyan Siregar, 2015: 220). The simple linear
regression formula is:
Yˈ = a + bX
b. Multiple Linear Regression
Multiple linear regression analysis is an analysis to determine the effect of more than one
independent variable on one dependent variable Sofyan Siregar (2015: 226). The multiple
linear regression formula is:
Yˈ = a + b1X1 + b2X2
Hypothesis Testing
a. T-test (Partial)
Each correlation coefficient produced needs to be tested by using the t-test to find out
the significance of each correlation. The t-test is calculated by the following formula:
rX₁Y n − 2
t=
1 − r2
b. F-test (Simultaneous)
F-test (simultaneous), is used to test the effect of the overall independent variable X on
the variable Y. This F-test is done by comparing the calculated F value with the F table value,
which is formulated as follows:
r 2 / (k − 1)
F=
1 − r 2 /(n − k)
Coefficient of Determination
The coefficient of determination (Kd) is a number that states or used to determine the
contribution made by a variable or more X (independent) to the variable Y (dependent). The
formula used is as follows:
Kd = r² x 100%
The magnitude of the coefficient of determination value shows the amount of contribution
of variable X (independent) to variable Y (dependent).

b. Multicollinearity Test
Multicollinearity test is used to find out whether the regression model found a correlation
between independent variables. Multicollinearity test results can be seen in the following table:
The table above shows the results of calculations, multicollinearity test by using SPSS.
From these data, the tolerance value was more than 0.1 and the VIF value was less than 10. It
can be concluded that the regression model equation did not contain multicollinearity problems.
c. Heteroscedastic Test
Heteroscedastic test aims to test whether in the regression variance occurs residuals from
one observation to another observation. A good regression model does not occur
heteroscedasticity. The method used to test heteroscedastic in this research was a scatterplot
diagram.

Based on the table above, the Current Ratio on Net Profit Margin regression equation as
follows:
NPM = -15 + 35 CR
Through this equation, it can be concluded that if the Current Ratio is 0 (zero), then the
Net Profit Margin is -15, and if there is an additional 1 unit of Current Ratio, the Net Profit
Margin will increase by Rp.35.
Based on the table above, then the Debt to Equity Ratio regression equation on the Net
Profit Margin is as follows:
NPM = 112 - 32 DER
Through this equation, it can be concluded that if the Debt to Equity Ratio is worth 0
(zero), then the Net Profit Margin is Rp. 112, and if an additional 1 unit of Debt to Equity
Ratio occurs, the Net Profit Margin will decrease by Rp.32.
