Next, sobel test is used in the interest to test the strength of the indirect effect of independent variables on the dependent variable through intervening variable.The results showed that SIZE have no significant effect on ROA, while CR have significant positive effect on ROA. SIZE have significant positive effect on DER, while CR and ROA have significant negative effect on DER. Furthermore, sobel test results showed that ROA can not mediate the effect of SIZE to DER, while the ROA may mediate the effect of CR to DER.
