Abstrak: Sheep is the third biggest contributors of ruminant families for meat national product. MT Farm is one of a farm-based agribusiness companies that planning to expand its business to fulfill market requirements. The aim for this study to analyzing the feasibilty of sheep business expansion at MT Farm based on financial and non financial aspects. This study also analyzing sensitiveness levels of business expansion by Switching Value Analysis. Result of this study shows that business expansion by analyzing non financial aspects is feasible to run. Result of financial analysis is also feasible to run based on investment criteria, that NPV Rp 566,181,930, Net BC is 2.01, and IRR is 22.55 percent of Payback Period means investment costs will return in two years four months and one day. While Switching Value Analysis shows the ascend limit of sheep’s mortality is 2.107109305 percent, so ascending in prices of lamb is 3.1854194939394 percent. Switching Value Analysis shows that ascending of sheep’s price give more influences than ascending of sheep’s mortality.

Abstrak: The objectives of this research are: (1) to describe the characteristic of farmer and their sheep farm; and (2) to analyze the financial feasibility of sheep farm and it's sensitivity. Cluster random sampling applied to choose 164 sample from 700 sheep farmers household population in Cibunian Village. The sheep farm were clasified into three categories based on ownership of sheep, namely scale I (0,75- 2,50 SDD or Adult Sheep Unit); scale II (2.51-4.75 SDD); and scale III (4,76-8,50 SDD). The result of this research showed chat generall (52,44%) farmer in Cibunian village comitted their sheep farm on scale I. Farmer of each scale in avarage were categorized into productive aged, have lots of experience on shap farm activities, but they have low education. The result of financial feasibility analysis showed that for 10 years at the interest rate of 9,50%, Net Resent Value (NPV)of sheep farm on scales I, II and III respectively is Rp (3.537.029,00); Rp (1.413.826,00); and Rp 1.770.5 19,00, with the values of Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) are 0.67; 0,89; and 1 ,I 0. Internal Rate of R e m (IRR) on scale I1 and 111 respectively is 057 and 16,56%. Sensitivity analysis was counted on scale Ill. Sheep farm on scale 1II was not feasible if farm costs increased more than 9,97% or farm revenues decreased more than 9.06% ceteris paribus.

Abstrak: Semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film that can be used as absorber layers on solar cell module was made via electrodeposition method. CZTS thin film was electrodeposited on the surface of a silicate glass coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). Deposition process was done using potentiostatic mode at room temperature with a potential of 1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes, followed with annealing the film at 2 different temperatures, 500 ºC using furnace and 180 ºC using hot plate, both treatments for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. The X-ray difractograms were analyzed using Match 2 program and showed that the CZTS thin films had kesterit crystalline structure, with a low percentage of CZTS phase. The thin film also contained secondary phases such as Cu2S, ZnS, and SnS. The obtained CZTS thin films had a thickness between 1.039 and 1.676 μm. Absorption study showed that the band gap energy of CZTS thin films which was annealed using furnace ranged from 1.50 to 1.52 eV, whereas that annealed using the hot plate was not observed. The band gap energy value showed that CZTS thin films can be used as sunlight absorber layers on solar cell. The formation of CZTS crystal film on this investigation was effectively performed using furnace annealing process at a temperature of 500 ºC with deposition time of 45 minutes.
