I'm a little stuck on this one. I know managerial accounting is different from financial accounting, but I'm not sure I fully understand how it helps measure cost-effectiveness. I'll have to think about this a bit more.

I've got this! Managerial accounting is used to control expenses and ensure compliance with budgets, so the answer has to be B or D. I'll go with B since that's more directly about measuring cost-effectiveness.
