“…Other than that, ownership and firm age were statistically significant at a 1 percent level of significance. The positive coefficient of ownership was estimated to be positive in this study parallels (Ramasamy et al, 2005;Suhaimi et al, 2010). The negative relationship between firm age and profit efficiency indicated that when plantation companies' age increased, plantation companies' profit efficiency was reduced (Lundvall & Battese, 2000;Perez-Gomez et al, 2018).…”

The palm oil industry in Malaysia is the main driver of Malaysia’s agricultural sector due to its significant contribution. High demandand attractive earnings of palm oil have attracted high participation from plantation companies in this industry. Therefore, this studyaimed to assess the level of profit efficiency of plantation companies involved in different value chain activities, as well as the factors that influence the profit efficiency of these plantation companies. A total of 40 Malaysian plantation companies listed in Bursa Malaysia from 2000 to 2018 with different value chain activities were examined using panel data. The evaluation of profit efficiency was based on data analysis, which included working capital costs, labour costs, and property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) costs that affect the plantation companies’ profit function. The parametric approach, also known as Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA), was used to assessthe profit efficiency of these plantation companies empirically. The results revealed that the average profit efficiency of 40 plantationcompanies was 60.3 percent, implying that an estimated 39.7 percent of profit was lost due to a combination of technical inefficiencies and allocative inefficiencies in plantation companies. Other findings were based on value chain activity categories (pure upstream plantation companies and downstream integrated plantation companies), whereby downstream integrated plantation companies had the highest profit efficiency (76.6%) when compared to the pure upstream plantation companies (54.2%). As a result, the study showed that plantation companies engaged in extended value chain activities were more profit efficient than plantation companies that did not extend their value chain activities (referring to pure upstream plantation companies).

“…The foreign banks are normally more advanced in their ICT infrastructure and this creates a competitive edge over the local banks. In [15], it was found that the foreign banks were significantly more profit efficient than the local banks. However, it can be otherwise in other industries.…”

This paper attempts to identify the significance of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and intellectual human capital to the profit efficiency of commercial banks in Malaysia. The profit efficiency of commercial banks in Malaysia was estimated using the Stochastic Frontier Approach (SFA) on a sample of unbalanced panel data, covering 23 commercial banks, between 1995 to 2009. Based on the empirical results, both ICT and non ICT stock expenditure were found to exert significant positive impact on profit inefficiency, whereas intellectual human capital, size and ownership were negatively significant contributors.

A Supermarket's profit is the money it earns when its total revenue exceeds its whole expenses. Any profit made by a corporation goes to its owners, who can choose to distribute it to shareholders as income or reinvest it in the business to fund future growth. The goal of this study is to analyze how the profitability of a particular superstore in the United States is affected by several economic factors. The multiple linear regression method, which is a statistical tool for prediction, will be utilized extensively throughout the paper. This project will go through data wrangling techniques, where this paper checked for inconsistency, missing values, and duplicate records, and filtered noisy data by identifying outliers and removing them, sampling the data due to its size to a more convenient size for ease of analysis, to proceeding to visualization, in order to determine what the results of the analysis are. Our primary method of multiple linear regression yielded an R-squared value of 0.563 for our model. This value represented the coefficient that indicated how well the values fit compared to the originally used values. Each one of the analyses that was carried out will be based on a confidence interval of 95%. In conclusion of the study, this paper found out that the more the sales and higher the quality the more chances of getting profit on the sales made with discount accounting to a negative variation to the profit sales. This model can be used to demonstrate future trends in profit margins and be applicable apply to other supermarkets to avoid losses.
