6.4   The Influence of Interest Burden’s 
Variable toward Return on Equity 
Based on the results of the research that has been 
done. The calculation of multiple regression equation, 
the results of the test t (partial test) explained that 
Interest Burden’s positive significant effect/ 
influence toward Return On Equity. It shows the H4 
stating the existence of the influence of the Interest 
Burden’s toward Return On Equity on the company's 
food and Beverage Industry, that is listed on the

IB is also an EBTdivide by OP. The higher of the

Based on the results of the data analysis has been 
done. The calculation of multiple regression equation, 
the results of the test t (partial test) explained that tax 
Burden’s have a negative influence and insignificant 
toward Return on Equity. It shows the H5 was 
rejected. This study the ratio of the tax burden has no 
significant effect on ROE, this is because the 
company has short-term corporate debt that is used 
for the cost of raw materials and so on. The increase 
in interest costs paid by the company will reduce the 
amount of tax paid to the government, but the tax 
expense paid by the company is insignificant.
