A certain city uses a computer system as part of its taxation of real estate. Which one of the following tasks would the computer be least able to do? A. Decide how much money should be raised through real estate taxes B. Keep records of tax rates that apply to different kinds of real estate C. Compute tax due for each property owner each quarter D. Keep records of all assessment E. Record and credit tax payments received from property owners

Decide how much money should be raised through real estate taxes
Keep records of tax rates that apply to different kinds of real estate
Compute tax due for each property owner each quarter
Keep records of all assessment E. Record and credit tax payments received from property owners

The correct answer is A. Decide how much money should be raised through real estate taxes.

A computer system is a tool that can be used to perform a variety of tasks, but it is not capable of making decisions. The decision of how much money should be raised through real estate taxes is a political one that should be made by elected officials.

The other options are all tasks that a computer system can easily do. For example, a computer system can keep records of tax rates, compute tax due for each property owner each quarter, keep records of all assessments, and record and credit tax payments received from property owners.

In conclusion, the computer system would be least able to do the task of deciding how much money should be raised through real estate taxes.
