The aim of this research is to know the prediction of debt policy, profitability, liquidity, size, and firm’s status on bond rating, and to find the accuracy rate for classifying companies that have investment grade of bond rating and non investment grade of bond rating based on these given factors. We employ logistic regression model as data analysis method. Our sample is taken fromIndonesian Bonds Market Directory (IBMD) in the year of 2008 which collected by purposive sampling method. There are 105 listed bond’s issuers until 2008. In our observation, there are 3 issuers that have no bond rating so that we use only 102 issuers as the sample. The results show that profitability is the only explanatory variable which has significant impact on bond rating with positive sign and the accuracy rate of debt policy, profitability, liquidity, size, and firm’s status to classify bond issuer category are as high as 85.3%.
Synthesis of nanomultiferroic material with the active content of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) and barium titanate (BaTiO3) was carried out. It is considering that it was difficult to obtain single phase of BiFeO3 as a base material for multiferroic materials. It is expected that the addition of BaTiO3 on ceramic alloys consist of BiFeO3 and BaTiO3 can improve the electrical properties of the ceramics and finally it improves the multiferroic properties of the material. Multiferroic properties could be seen from the appearance of an electric voltage response if the material is given the effect of an external magnetic field. The synthesis uses the sol gel method which is a good method of producing nanosized material. Synthesis of nanomultiferroic ceramic materials is carried out by varying the weight ratio of BaTiO3 and BiFeO3 of 2: 1, calcination temperature of 350°C for 4 hours and sintering temperatures with variations of 700°C; 750°C and 800°C for 2; 4; and 6 hours. Characterization was carried out using X Ray Diffraction (XRD) to confirm phase formation. The electrical properties test which produces a hysterical loop is carried out to determine the value of remanent, coercivity and electric polarization saturation. Particle size measurements were carried out using the Beckman Coulter DelsaTM nanoinstrument. The multiferroic phenomena is known from the appearance of an electric voltage response if there is an effect of an external magnetic field on the material. The smallest particle size was obtained on ceramic powder which experienced sintered of 750°C. The best values of remanent, coercivity and electric polarization were obtained on ceramics which were sintered at temperatures of 750°C for 6 hours. This is linear with the highest value of electrical voltage arising as a result of the effect of the external magnetic field given to the ceramic material. Material that has a large electrical voltage response shows good multiferroic properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
