The samples used in this research are manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The type of data used in this study is secondary data in the form of financial statements of companies listed on IDX from 2011 to 2015. The samples are selected using a purposive sampling method with the number of samples of 50 companies.
