Abstract

This study analyzes the financial condition of the Osseda Faolala Perempuan Nias Consumer Cooperative during the period January 2021–December 2024, focusing on the management of current assets, short-term liabilities, and the repayment rate of member loans. Data were processed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression to assess the cooperative's financial balance and factors influencing business growth. The classical assumption test showed that the regression model met the feasibility criteria, both in terms of normality and autocorrelation, thus the analysis results were reliable. The t-test results proved that working capital had a positive and significant effect on cooperative business growth with a significance value <0.05. The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.887) confirmed that 88.7% of the variation in business growth was explained by working capital management. This means that the more optimal the management of working capital—including current assets, short-term liabilities, and member loans—the higher the cooperative's chances of growth and development. In addition to strengthening the existing literature, this study is consistent with the findings of Winata et al. (2023) on manufacturing companies and Herawati (2023) on savings and loan cooperatives, both demonstrated the importance of working capital management to financial performance. However, these results differ from the research of Rezki Erdian et al. (2022) on the retail sector, which found that receivables had no significant effect on profitability. This difference indicates that the relevance of working capital is highly dependent on the institutional context. Overall, this study confirms that optimal working capital management is not merely an administrative issue, but a strategic factor determining cooperative business growth and improving welfare. member.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of acquisition premiums in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and their impact on shareholder wealth, focusing on five major Indian deals in pharmaceuticals, retail, banking, steel, and renewable energy sectors. Potential synergies often justify acquisition premiums ranging from approximately 15% to 40% above target companies’ market values. However, market responses suggest that such premiums may not consistently result in value creation for acquiring firms' shareholders. Empirical findings reveal mixed outcomes: Sun Pharma’s acquisition of Ranbaxy led to a 9.8% share price increase within five days, while Tata Steel’s high-premium acquisition of Bhushan Steel saw only a 1.7% gain. In contrast, deals like Reliance–Future Retail and Tata Power–Welspun Power showed minimal or negative returns, despite sizable premiums. These patterns indicate that premium size alone is not a reliable predictor of post-deal shareholder wealth creation. The study concludes that M&A success depends more on strategic fit, market timing, and sectoral dynamics than on the premium offered. This analysis contributes to the broader M&A discourse by offering evidence-based insights into how premium valuations can either maximise or dilute shareholder value, aiding investors, corporate strategists, and policy analysts in deal assessment.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the cost of production (HPP) calculation at a local manufacturing enterprise to determine whether the company has applied accurate and appropriate costing methods. The research focuses on identifying the components of raw material costs, labor costs, and factory overhead costs, as well as evaluating the suitability of the company’s costing approach with generally accepted accounting principles. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected from interviews, documentation, and direct observation. The results show that the company has not fully implemented a comprehensive cost of production calculation, particularly in allocating factory overhead costs, which leads to inaccurate product pricing and profit assessment. The study concludes that proper cost of production implementation is essential for determining competitive pricing, evaluating business performance, and supporting managerial decision-making. It is recommended that the company adopt a more structured costing system to enhance accuracy and financial effectiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of internal control in the inventory recording system at CV Madona Ponsel. The research was conducted to identify the effectiveness of the company's internal control procedures, especially in the use of stock cards, hybrid recording methods, and verification processes for incoming and outgoing inventory. A qualitative descriptive method was applied, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results revealed that the company has implemented internal control elements such as authorization, separation of duties, supervision, and stock reconciliation. However, weaknesses were found in documentation consistency, the absence of computerized integration, and reliance on manual stock cards, which often leads to delays, errors, and discrepancies between physical stock and recorded stock. The study concludes that although the internal control system is generally effective, it requires improvement in record accuracy, supervision mechanisms, and technological adoption to prevent errors and fraud. Strengthening internal control is essential to maintain inventory accuracy, support operational efficiency, and ensure reliable financial reporting.

Abstract

Komunikasi visual memiliki peran penting dalam menyampaikan identitas dan karakter suatu usaha kepada konsumen, khususnya pada bisnis jasa fotografi yang mengandalkan hasil karya visual sebagai representasi merek. Konsistensi elemen visual dapat membentuk persepsi konsumen terhadap profesionalisme, kualitas, dan karakter suatu merek. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran komunikasi visual dalam membangun brand image pada Kita Photo Studio di Kota Gunungsitoli, dengan fokus pada bentuk dan penerapan komunikasi visual serta peran elemen komunikasi visual dalam membentuk persepsi konsumen. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan tujuh informan yang dipilih melalui teknik purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara semi terstruktur, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, serta penarikan kesimpulan dan verifikasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komunikasi visual diterapkan melalui publikasi hasil karya fotografi dengan memperhatikan konsistensi tone warna, kualitas fotografi, tata letak, tipografi, dan media publikasi digital. Konsistensi tersebut membentuk identitas visual yang memberikan kesan profesional dan memudahkan konsumen mengenali karakter Kita Photo Studio. Peran komunikasi visual dalam membentuk brand image terlihat melalui Brand Strength, Brand Favorability, dan Brand Uniqueness. Namun, dominasi konten indoor menyebabkan layanan outdoor dan dokumentasi lainnya belum tergambarkan secara optimal. Dengan demikian, komunikasi visual berperan dalam membangun brand image, tetapi keberagaman representasi layanan dalam publikasi visual masih perlu ditingkatkan.
