However, to achieve this goal, the company must have sufficient funds so that its operational activities can run well.

In this study, compensation is there a relationship between debt policy and liquidity and profitability . This study used a technique known as purposive sampling, which involved selecting sample subjects based on predetermined criteria. The number of samples selected was 76 food and beverage companies for a four year period covering 19 different companies. The research method used is causal associative research. From the results of this study it was found that the liquidity ratio has a negative effect on debt policy, while the profitability ratio has no effect on debt policy. Based on the coefficient of determination (R2), the liquidity ratio and profitability ratio only have a 37.7% influence on debt policy. The remaining 62.3% of debt policy is influenced by other variables that have not been examined in this study. The ratio tested in this study is only the liquidity ratio as measured by the current ratio and the profitability ratio as measured by return on assets. This is a limitation of this research. For this reason, it is hoped that future researchers can develop other variables that have the potential to influence debt policy.
