| Summary: | The main objective of this paper is to investigate the implication of cost
behaviour on firm performance. This objective is attained by doing an empirical
study for a sample of 315 companies from non-financial industry in the Bursa
Malaysia. The data of these companies are analysed using secondary data published
from year 2010 to 2014. Several tests are used to test and analyse the relationships
between the variables of this research such as Multicollinearity test, White
Heteroskedasticity, Autocorrelation, Breusch and Pagan Lagrangian Multiplier test
and Hausman test. The results show that sticky cost has positive and significant
relationship to firm performance. Besides that, the relationship between firm age and
firm performance is positively and significantly related. For the firm size, it shows
positive relationship on firm performance. In addition, the result shows that the
relationship between firm growth and firm performance is positively and
significantly related. However, the firm leverage shows not significant relationship
on firm performance. |
