Nowadays almost every company have debts. When creditors loaned their money, they expect the debtor can return the money. To measure the capability of debtor to return the money, creditors usually use liquidity ratio. High liquidity means better chance the debtors pay their debts. But there is a theory that states that liquidity and profitability is inversely related. Mining sector as one of the largest sectors of in IDX (Indonesia Stock Exchange) was also financed by debts. This research tries to discover what kind of relationship between liquidity and profitability of these mining companies and also find which variables got affected the most by liquidity. The liquidity variables are current ratio, quick ratio, cash ratio and profitability variables are return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and return on capital employed (ROCE). The result of this research shows that the relationship between liquidity and profitability of mining companies listed in IDX is inversely related and ROCE is the variable that affected the most by liquidity variables.
Keywords: Cash Ratio, Current Ratio, Liquidity Ratio, Profitability, ROA, ROE, ROCE, Quick ratio
