Which of the following is used to determine if an applicant’s operations are predominantly foreign-based for the purposes of listing on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad?
- A.
Revenue
- B.
After-tax profit
- C.
Net tangible assets
- D.
Shareholders' funds
Correct Answer
B. After-tax profitExplanation
After-tax profit is used to determine if an applicant's operations are predominantly foreign-based for the purposes of listing on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. This is because after-tax profit reflects the profitability of a company after all taxes have been deducted, and it gives a clearer indication of the company's financial performance. If a company's after-tax profit is predominantly generated from foreign operations, it suggests that the company's operations are primarily based outside Malaysia, making it eligible for listing on the Main Market.Rate this question:

- A.
10 million
- B.
