ANALYSIS
After collecting data about the daily of closing stock price of the company and the daily of closing market index from January 2, 2008 till March 31, 2010. We try to calculate the daily stock returns and daily market returns in Berlian Laju Tanker Tbk. We can discuss based on two points of view, because there are two market indexs used that are Indonesia Composite Index (IHSG) and LQ45 Index. From that calculation, we get data about the highest and lowest for daily stock returns and daily market returns that based on IHSG and LQ45. Firstly, we discuss about stock return in every year started from 2008 until 2010. We can see there are 0.2 as the highest value in 2008 and -0,135338346 as the lowest value.
In 2008 there are many bad events, let’s take Lehman Brothers as one of the example. Collapsing of giant companies that bring harm to all stock companies in the world. Many companies suffer losses or even collapse. BLTA includes in one of the companies that suffered many losses. This may be reflected in its low value of stock returns in 6th November 2008. The lowest value of stock returns is -0.135338346. And 0.2 as the highest value in 17th December 2008. This is because the dollar value drops drastically and can not be controlled. In addition, many companies also are doing on their “buy back” toward stocks that have been invested to purchase shares of Lehman Brothers.
In 8th May 2009, BLTA has increased the value of the stock return to be 0.25 because of Berlian Laju Tanker Tbk (BLTA) can repair their company condition became better and known as “a leading of tanker operator in the world”. Founded in 1981 as domestic players Pertamina oil tankers, the company then evolved into tankers for chemicals and gases. BLTA not only growing in terms of products, but also in market coverage, network marketing and of course also with their tanker fleet. This is all necessary because over time, the company does not only rely on Pertamina but could even be the choice of oil and chemical companies leading the world, such as Exxon Mobil, Shell, BASF, SABIC and Dow Chemical. Such capabilities became stronger after BLTA acquire other tanker operators, including Tankers LLC of the United States in the year 2007. Other than through acquisitions, the company is also increasing worldwide network with the establishment of subsidiaries, among others: UK GBLT Ship management (UK) in Glasgow, GBLT Ship management Pte Ltd in Singapore, and Gold Bridge Shipping Ltd. in Hong Kong. To support that network, the company also has a presence in Bangkok, Shanghai, Beijing, Behai, Mumbai, Dubai, Westport, and Sao Paolo. So at this time, the company has a fleet of large tankers and in large amount as well as end-to-end operation, including in the face of tight regulation in various parts of the world's tanker operators associated with the business. With this extensive network, do not be surprised if the composition BLTA customers throughout the world, with no single customer accounts for more than 5 percent of company revenue, except for Pertamina for 6 percent. Although these companies get 90 percent of its income from abroad, but it seems the potential for growth in Indonesia has also become a target forward for BLTA, was in line with laws mandating the use of Indonesian flagged vessels to transport cargo between ports in Indonesia. With the condition that Pertamina currently still use foreign-flag operators in 70 percent of their rented boat, the company saw significant growth potential of this national market. But there is a case about Indonesia that decides to leave OPEC. This condition gives bad impact to BLTA. But because of BLTA in 2009 has good conditions, so the lowest stock price is not too bad. It decreased to -0.098901099, it’s still better compared to 2008.
In 8th February 2010, stock returns at the lowest point, -0.045454545 this is happening due to piracy in one of the carrier hired by the company BLTA. MT Pramoni that has been rented by PT Berlian Laju Tanker Tbk (BLTA) alleged to have been hijacked in Gulf of Aden waters located in the Indian Ocean between Yemen on the southern Arabian Peninsula and Somalia in Africa. There is no loss suffered by Berlian Laju Tanker company because they were helped by a guard the international waters. But this case also have bad impact to the stock price. Investors become afraid to invest their money in BLTA. They think if this situation would make companies suffer loss BLTA That gives impact to its stock price. In 19th January 2010 is the highest value, stock return at 0.057971014 because BLTA also have trade relations with China and in several years this economy of China is progressing quite significant. There is also a positive impact because they have BLTA trade relations. In 2010 many goods From China enter into Indonesia through the waters. China uses BLTA freight service, this causes the value of stock returns BLTA experienced a fairly stable.

Market Returns (IHSG and LQ45)
In our group, the changes value of market returns IHSG and LQ45 have the same reason because LQ45 includes in IHSG. LQ45 is the merger of 45 companies in Indonesia and IHSG is the merger of all companies in Indonesia so the changes value of market returns in IHSG definetly gives impact in LQ45. In 2008 Bakrie Sumatera Plantation Tbk (UNSP) that includes in three top of biggest company in Asia has problem about LUMPUR LAPINDO in 2006 that has long impact to the value of stock returns. This condition also has impact to the market returns. Then they try to fix this bad condition. It proves in 2009 that has better value of market value. LQ 45 stocks, shares of the Bakrie Group, and the shares of Astra Group still has the appeal of "special" for certain investors. So do not let one select and hopefully this Bullish trend continues.
Since the year 2001 - 2002, when the dot com giants of America reduced its contribution to their domestic economy, the American economy began a campaign, by bringing a new prima donna, namely the housing sector (real estate). Various government policies made to encourage the development of this sector, the developer is given full support in infrastructure and promotion of, and positive issues regarding real estate begin exhaled throughout American society. The project is managed properly. Since that year in the U.S. housing prices have continued to rise significantly, people are competing to invest in this area because of the level of lucrative profits, and the American general public use the housing loan to purchase their new home. This sector continues to billow, vigilance in the credit management of a slump. Population that should only be able to buy a standard house, promised hereafter by companies engaged in the "Quick Credit" to buy a new house or a bigger house. By the time they were asked where they would be able to pay their mortgage, the credit agency that still junior replied that home prices will continue to rise, and they can either re-Agun (refinanced) their home with a larger number of 2-3 year then, with the advantages getting cash to pay credit and other purposes. Consequently, the euphoria occurred, increased consumerism, and the housing sector to be excellent. Starting in 2004 - 2005 for financing the company needs funds, they combine their credits in the cluster-cluster and sell it to banks in America. Then, the financial experts on Wallstreet launched a new idea, which combines the credit clusters in one lot a larger container, called the letter "sub-prime mortgage." This letter is traded through the stock market and purchased by investment companies around the world, with a very large capitalization value, and continues ballooned in value from time to time as housing prices continue to rise. Actually, since 2006 there have been several experts expressed concern that they will this euphoria, but their worries disappeared storm of optimism. This situation continued until the end of 2007. In accordance with the laws of life, the bubble finally burst in late 2007. Total debt payments increasingly large can not be borne more by some of American society, and bad loans in the housing sector begins to appear. The situation worsened in 2008. The U.S. government tries to resolve internally, but financial markets global are not be influenced by too much. Because pessimism began to spread, stock indices started blocked and suffered a decline, until a new peak in October 2008, when several large investment banks such as Lehman Brothers suffered severe financial difficulties and fell, the world's financial markets experienced snap and come down. Because of the causes are fundamental, then the growing crisis of the financial crisis into an economic crisis that also attack the real sector. Unemployment increased, the threat of layoffs to be large, declining purchasing power, and it quickly spread throughout the world because America contributes about 30% of world GDP, today. Then, what about Indonesia? Like other countries, the first sector is directly affected by the stock market and money market. Foreign investors pulled their funds so that experienced a bearish market, the funds in the money market became very tight, especially in the fourth quarter 2008, stock index fell, and the rupiah sluggish. Actually, the Indonesian government did not remain silent. Several policy packages rolled out, starting with a reduction in the BI rate in the financial sector, the use of foreign reserves in the money market, stock exchange rules. Meanwhile in the real sector, these policies led to the nationalization of the economy (meaning: the domestic supply is absorbed by domestic demand). In addition, acceleration of infrastructure projects is also made to absorb and retain employment business field, which is expected to provide a multiplier effect across other sectors. Meanwhile, joint provision of emergency funds is also done with other Asian countries. Well, until now, the situation may not be too bad, because some effects of this crisis can still be "detained" by both the government and Indonesian entrepreneurs. However, in my opinion, these circumstances will not be passed in a short time and the extent to which government and Indonesian businessmen able to "restrain" their burden, so that follow-crisis spread to the whole society down and cause big domino effect. Since October 2008, world’s economy is shacked that caused by Great Depression which gives bad impact in America.
In 2010 there is a repairement about the American market. The U.S. economy will start growing the first quarter of 2010. Europe in the second quarter of 2010. The improving economy will stimulate demand, Indonesia's exports will recover. It’s include requests for a commodity (except gold) and an energy. Lately there are still depressed due to the strengthening of commodity dollar, but predicted oil prices will come back as economic growth (real demand) into the range of 80-100 USD / barrel.

BETA
The beta coefficient is a key parameter in the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). It measures the part of the asset's statistical variance that cannot be mitigated by the diversification provided by the portfolio of many risky assets, because it is correlated with the return of the other assets that are in the portfolio. Beta can be estimated for individual companies using regression analysis against a stock market index.
There are 5 types of beta :
1. A beta of 1.0 means that the security's price, historically, has moved with or has been equally as volatile as the market - when the market is up 10%, the security's price has generally also been up 10%.
2. A beta higher than 1.0 means that the security's price has been more volatile than the market - A beta of 2.0 means that when the market is up 10%, the security's price has generally been up by 20% (and down by 20% when the market is down 10%).
3. A beta lower than 1.0 means that its price has been less volatile than the market - A Beta of 0.5 means that when the market is up 10%, the security's price has been up 5% (and down by 5% when the market is down 10%).
4. A beta of 0 means that the stock is independent of the market and its movements are not correlated.
5. A negative beta means that the stock moves inversely with the market. When one rises, the other falls and vise versa. Precious metals and inverse ETFs often have negative beta values since their values tend to increase as the market falls.

Beta (BLTA – LQ45) 0,758465804

Beta (BLTA – IHSG) 0,921421833



We can see that both value of beta is less than 1, that means the risk is small. The changes of stock returns value almost consistant. This condition is good for investors who wants to invests their money with safety ways because of the small risk. But, they also can’t get more benefits from BLTA company because the increasing of stock values is not change so much. For investors who want to get much profits for the stock wouldn’t choose BLTA to invests their money because it’s a defensive company. Defensive stocks are not very sensitive to market fluctuation.

Hypothesis testing of regression
Hypothesis testing typically begins with some theory, claim, or assertion about a particular parameter of population. There are 2 kinds of hypothesis testing; one sample tests and 2 sample tests.
Based on CAPM (Cost Asset Pricing Model), risk premium equal to the stock’s beta times the market risk premium. Therefore,
Market risk premium = market return – risk-free interest rate
Expected return on stock = risk-free interest rate + (beta * market risk premium)
r = rf + β (rm – rf )
From the data, we get average stock return -0.00192%. This value would be used to test whether the formula above accepted or not.
H0 = r = -0.00192%
Ha = r ≠ -0.00192%
For significant level = 5% (0.05)
Z0.05 = -2.85 (from table 2.2 the cumulative Standardized Normal Distribution)
H0 rejected if Z*< -2.85 or Z* > 2.85
Using LQ45-BLTA data
For β = 0.76, and rf ranged between 6.5% - 9.5% (changed from 2008-2010), expected return value is 0.00386%.
Z* = (0.00386% + 0.00192%) / 0.0349% = 0.1656
Since Z*< -2.85 and Z* > 2.85, H0 accepted
Using IHSG-BLTA data
For β = 0.92, and rf ranged between 6.5% - 9.5% (changed from 2008-2010), expected return value is 0.00195%.
Z* = (0.00195% - 0.00192%) / 0.0346% = 0.1118
Since Z*< -2.85 and Z* > 2.85, H0 accepted

CONCLUSION
According to our group, we can say that Berlian Laju Tanker Tbk Company includes in defensive company, because the value of fluctuation has small changes and the beta’s value is less than 1. It also means that BLTA not too influence in IHSG and LQ45. We can see from both value of stock returns and market returns. But IHSG and LQ45 have special relation because LQ45 includes in IHSG and gives big contributions in the changes value of IHSG.

2.Analysis








Closing Stock Price

The final price at which a security is traded on a given trading day. The closing price represents the most up-to-date valuation of a security until trading commences again on the next trading day. Most financial instruments are traded after hours (although with markedly smaller volume and liquidity levels), so the closing price of a security may not match its after-hours price. Still, closing prices provide a useful marker for investors to assess changes in stock prices over time - the closing price of one day can be compared to the previous closing price in order to measure market sentiment for a given security over a trading day.

Market Index

Measure of the investment performance of the overall market. Financial analysis need market index to summarize the return on different classes of securities. An index which is designed to measure price changes of an overall market, such as the stock market or the bond market. An example is Vanguard's Total Bond Market Index.

Standard Deviation

Standard deviation is a widely used measure of the variability or dispersion, being algebraically more tractable though practically less robust than the expected deviation or average absolute deviation. It shows how much variation there is from the "average" (mean). A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be very close to the mean, whereas high standard deviation indicates that the data are spread out over a large range of values.

3. Conclusion


From the Data that we make, we can analysis that Berlian Laju Tanker has not stability value in stock price, because the graphic show us that the values are less than one. Beside that we also found negative values in the stock price. It means that people are lack of interest to buy the stock of Berlian Laju Tanker. Another reasons that make it's not attract, because people in indonesia think that Transportation company is not to profitable at Indonesia. The custom fees are to higher than the profits, so it makes every bussiness man think twice when they want to invest their money to the transportation company in Indonesia. The Stock Return of Berlian Laju Tanker,Tbk company is not have a big impact to the market index of LQ45. Because we can see that when the Stock Return Index of Berlian Laju Tanker Increase significantly, the market index of LQ45 is not increase significantly. So it's mean to that the Berlian Laju Tanker is less impact to the IHSG, because IHSG market index more expand than LQ45. So the change of the Berlian Laju Tanker is not to important to the IHSG market index.

Why we choose "Supervisor" as our group name

We choose ‘supervisor’ as our group name because it is responsible for the productivity and actions of a small group of employees. The Supervisor has several manager-like roles, responsibilities, and powers. Two of the key differences between a Supervisor and a Manager are (1) the Supervisor does not typically have "hire and fire" authority, and (2) the Supervisor does not have budget authority.

Lacking "hire and fire" authority means that a Supervisor may not recruit the employees working in the Supervisor's group or does the Supervisor have the authority to terminate an employee. The Supervisor may participate in the hiring process as part of interviewing and assessing candidates, but the actual hiring authority rests in the hands of a Human Resource Manager. The Supervisor may recommend to management that a particular employee be terminated and the Supervisor may be the one who documents the behaviors leading to the recommendation but the actual firing authority rests in the hands of a Manager.

Lacking budget authority means that a Supervisor is provided a budget developed by management within which constraints the Supervisor is expected to provide a productive environment for the employees of the Supervisor's work group. A Supervisor will usually have the authority to make purchases within specified limits. A Supervisor is also given the power to approve work hours and other payroll issues. Normally, budget affecting requests such as travel will require not only the Supervisor's approval but the approval of one or more layers of management.

As a member of management, a supervisor's main job is more concerned with orchestrating and controlling work rather than performing it directly.

The meaning of "Supervisor"

Definition: A supervisor is the lowest, or most-junior, management position. It is usually a step above lead (Accounting Supervisor is senior to Lead Accounting Specialist), but below Manager.

A supervisor is responsible for the day-to-day performance of a small group. It may be a team, or a shift. The supervisor has experience in what the group does, but is not necessarily better at it than everyone he/she supervises. The supervisor's job is to guide the group toward its goals, see that all members of the team are productive, and resolve problems as they arise.

A supervisor generally does not have the power to hire or fire employees or to promote them. A supervisor usually recommends such action to the next level of management. The supervisor does, however, often have the authority to change the work roles of the members of the team, for instance deciding which individual will work at which station.

A supervisor holds a job position that can vary tremendously from company to company. In many businesses, the supervisor’s job is to oversee the actual work the company produces, train new employees in their jobs, give performance reviews, and create work schedules. The supervisor in some settings may do some of the work, or they may merely implement management’s wishes and work on employee training and production, acting as a go-between for employees and managers, and occasionally assist with work as needed.

The position can hold a lot of responsibility or relatively little depending upon each company’s definition. Sometimes the supervisor is merely the lead person for a particular section of a company. In sales, supervisors commonly are required to sell merchandise too, and occasionally, the title supervisor is given to trustworthy personnel in retail stores who handle a few more tasks than the average sales person, like granting returns and doing the books for the night.

In larger companies, supervisors can have numerous tasks. They may need to address employee problems directly, taking disciplinary action when necessary. They’re often involved in the hiring process of new employees and may sit on a panel with managers and other supervisors to make choices about who gets hired. They implement employee safety recommendations, and naturally they give orders as requested by heads or managers of companies.

Most supervisors don’t directly get to hire or fire people. At least they don’t necessarily make the decision of who stays or goes at a company. Many do have the disagreeable task of conveying the news to employees that their services are no longer required, and may take care of any last minute details associated with terminating a person’s employment.

A supervisor also does not usually get to make decisions about employee raises, except that they may recommend an amount to managers based on employee performance. If a company decides not to give raises during a certain year, the supervisor can’t override this decision, since he or she doesn’t have control over the budget. Sometimes employees view these “overseers” as the bearer of bad messages, when a company is not doing well and workers are not given even minimum pay increases.

It is true that supervisors often have to be “the bad guy” in an organization, and have many disagreeable tasks to perform to appease upper level management. Even a good supervisor can be disliked by employees as a pawn of the management, and be at the same time, under constant pressure from the management to improve work output. It can be a disagreeable position in some cases, because it may not win you a lot of friends.
