Maka menjadi penting apakah dengan harga bahan baku kedelai yang semakin naik, usaha tempe masih menguntungkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi produksi, menganalisis struktur biaya usaha, dan menganalisis keuntungan usaha tempe di Desa Pejaten. Responden yang digunakan adalah keseluruhan perajin tempe di Desa Pejaten yakni sebanyak 25 orang. Metode analisis menggunakan analisis fungsi produksi, perhitungan keuntungan usaha, dan rasio R/C. Pengolahan data dibantu dengan program SPSS 26 dan Microsoft Excel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara parsial, hanya variabel kedelai (X_1) yang berpengaruh nyata dan poisitif terhadap produksi tempe. Adapun komponen biaya terbesar dalam usaha tempe adalah biaya pembelian kedelai (80,53%), upah tenaga kerja (9,06%), dan biaya pembelian kemasan plastik (3,53%). Sedangkan rata-rata keuntungan usaha tempe yang diperoleh dalam sebulan adalah sebesar Rp. 4,308,824.71 dengan R/C rasio sebesar 1.14, maka usaha tempe sudah menguntungkan., Consumption of processed soybeans such as tempeh is quite high in Indonesia, where one of the centers for tempeh production is in Pejaten Village, Kramatwatu District. Soybeans that used in making tempeh are imported soybeans, which often had price increases. So it becomes important whether the price of soybean is increasing, the tempe business is still profitable.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
