Swiss German University, Indonesia Abstract

Objective - The paper analyzes the impact of capital structure on the financial performance of the agriculture companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange. In addition, this paper also analyzes which one between equity and asset that is able to cover the firm's debt.

Methodology/Technique - The time scope of this thesis is taken from 2010 until 2014 with 16 agricultural companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange as the samples.

The dependent variable is financial performance that is measured by GPM, NPM, ROA, ROE, and EPS. The methodology used in this thesis is multiple regression and the data is processed by using SPSS.

Findings - The result of this paper shows that Debt Equity Ratio, which is one of the indicators of capital structure, has a significant impact and a negative relationship with ROE.
