The farmer exchange rate is a comparative value between the price index received by farmers and the index paid by farmers. In this context, it is necessary to develop indicators that can accurately measure the purchasing power of farmers, who represent a significant proportion of the agricultural sector. The objective of this study is to analyze and determine the effect of rice productivity, food crop subsector GRDP, and inflation on the exchange rate of food crop farmers in Indonesia. This type of research is a quantitative research study. The data for this study were obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics, which provided secondary data. The data utilized in this study are comprised of data on the exchange rate of food crop farmers, rice productivity, food crop subsector GRDP, and inflation for the years 2020-2022. The data analysis employed panel data linear regression analysis. The results indicated that rice productivity exerted a negative and insignificant influence on the exchange rate of food crop farmers in Indonesia. Conversely, the GRDP of the food crop subsector and inflation exhibited a negative and significant effect on the exchange rate of food crop farmers in Indonesia.

Gold has played an essential role in building payment systems in the past and remains a popular investment product today. One such investment product is the Gold Rolling Spot, a variation of a futures contract derivative transaction traded on the Indonesian Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (ICDX). Nevertheless, no research has been done since this sort of investment is exclusive to ICDX. This study uses inflation as the moderation to analyze the effect of the Indonesia Composite Index (ICI) return, Interest Rate, and Exchange Rate (USD/IDR) return on the Gold Rolling Spot return. This study used monthly data for the period January 2020 until December 2023. The analysis technique used is Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results concluded that ICI return has a significant positive effect on Gold Rolling Spot return, while interest rate, exchange rate (USD/IDR) return, and Inflation, have a significant negative impact on Gold Rolling Spot return. Inflation moderates the effect of interest rate and exchange rate (USD/IDR) return on Gold Rolling Spot return. However, Inflation does not moderate the impact of ICI return on Gold Rolling Spot return.

This research aims toanalyze the influence of institutional ownership on earnings management, analyze the influence of independent auditor tenure on earnings management, analyze the influence of audit committee tenure on earnings management, and describe the variables of earnings management, institutional ownership, independent auditor tenure and audit committee tenure. The data in this research is time series data in the form of Annual Report data for 5 years, from 2018-2022, so the data in this research is 60 pieces of data. The data analysis technique uses multiple regression analysis. The results of the analysis show that Institutional Ownership has a negative effect on Earnings Management. This shows that greater institutional ownership in a company can usually have more access to the company's internal information, including control processes and financial reporting. This can allow them to more quickly detect or respond to suspicious earnings management practices. Independent Auditor Tenure has no effect on Earnings Management. This shows that the tenure of an independent auditor cannot influence earnings management practices within a company. Auditors in carrying out their audits must continue to carry out them in accordance with procedures and must improve the quality of their audits so that the audited financial reports can reflect their true value. Audit Committee Tenure does not affect Profit Management. This shows that the tenure of the audit committee in carrying out supervision cannot influence the existence of earnings management in a company. In carrying out its supervision, the audit committee must be independent of management both in reporting its performance results and in selecting an independent external auditor.

Currency risk which is also known as exchange rate risk, is a significant factor affecting businesses engaged in international trade. In Lusaka’s manufacturing sector, many industries are heavily reliant on import of raw materials, technology, equipment, machinery, accessories, and components. Fluctuations in exchange rates can have profound implications on their cost structures, pricing strategies and overall financial performance. This study aimed to analyse the exposure to currency risk faced by import- dependent manufacturing industries in Lusaka and its effects on their performance from 2019 to 2023. The objectives of this study were to examine the key drivers of currency risk exposure on import dependent manufacturing industries, to analyse the effects of currency risk exposure on the financial performance of import dependent manufacturing industries in Lusaka, and to assess the effectiveness of risk management strategies in mitigating currency risk for import dependent manufacturing industries in Lusaka by the Bank of Zambia (BoZ). This research employed a mixed method approach. Quantitative data were collected from financial statements, exchange rate records, and economic reports. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as profit margins and return on assets (ROA) were analysed in relation to exchange rate fluctuations. Additionally, qualitative data were gathered through interviews with industry experts and executives to understand their risk management strategies and operational challenges. The 10% rule was used to derive the sample size of 28 respondents from the 280-target population. Purposive and random sampling were used as techniques in which 28 were targeted for questionnaire administration on drop and pick basis. The preliminary findings indicate that significant exchange rate volatility between 2019 and 2023 has had a marked impact on manufacturing sector in Lusaka. Firms with robust hedging strategies and diversified sourcing were better able to mitigate negative effects, whereas those without measures experienced decreased profitability and increased financial strain. Also, this study reveals that external factors such as global economic conditions and domestic policy responses played a crucial role in shaping the extent of currency risk exposure. In conclusion, the analysis underscores the crucial need for effective currency risk management practices in import dependent industries. It also highlights the importance of policy interventions to stabilise macroeconomic environment and support the manufacturing sector’s resilience against exchange rate fluctuations. Recommendations for industry stakeholders include enhancing financial risk management capabilities, exploring alternative supply chain industries and advocating for supportive economic policies.

The current technological advancements have a significant impact on human life, especially smartphones, which have changed consumer behavior patterns, particularly among students at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Udayana University. Although Samsung leads the global market share, students tend to use Apple brand smartphones. To understand this dynamic, research needs to be conducted in line with the aim of this study, which is to investigate the perceptions of the influence of reference groups, lifestyle, and brand image on the purchasing decision of Samsung smartphones. This research was conducted on undergraduate students of the Management Study Program, Faculty of Economics and Business, Udayana University, with a total sample of 91, determined using the simple random sampling method with the Slovin formula. The results show that reference groups have a positive and significant partial effect on purchasing decisions. Lifestyle also has a positive and significant partial effect on purchasing decisions. Brand image has a positive and significant partial effect on purchasing decisions. The theoretical implications of the study provide a deeper understanding of how the variables of reference groups, lifestyle, and brand image contribute to purchasing decisions. Practically, it is hoped to provide input for Samsung in conducting its business by paying attention to the influence of the variables of reference groups, lifestyle, and brand image on consumer purchasing decisions.
