The results of this study indicate that the return on assets has a positive effect on firm value, the greater return on assets can indicate that management is doing a good job thereby increasing firm value. The results of the debt to equity ratio have a positive effect on firm value, a high debt to equity ratio reflects that the company has a long-term investment strategy so that investors will invest in the company so that it will increase the firm value.
