d. Planning and decision-making.

d. Planning and decision-making

The correct answer is letter "A": The preparation of income tax returns.

Explanation:

Management accounting is in charge of providing valuable information to managers to assess them in the planning and decision-making of the company. Management accounting provides executives with different charts, tables, and analyses of the operations of the company and the resources available which helps them to make adjustments when necessary or to change different variables to maximize profits.

Management accounting is also helpful at the moment of measuring the performance of different components of the firm allowing them to create a system of reward for them.

The preparation of corporate income tax returns is an activity inherent in the accounting department that does not involve management in its process.

okay lol !

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
