Strickler Technology is considering changes in its working capital policies to improve its cash flow cycle. Strickler's sales last year were $2,555,000 (all on credit), and its net profit margin was 8%. Its inventory turnover was 4.5 times during the year, and its DSO was 44 days. Its annual cost of goods sold was $1,350,000. The firm had fixed assets totaling $420,000. Strickler's payables deferral period is 50 days. Assume 365 days in year for your calculations.

I need assistance on this problem in Pseudocode and in C++ Program
1: Stay on the Screen! Animation in video games is just like animation in movies – it’s drawn image by image (called “frames”). Before the game can draw a frame, it needs to update the position of the objects based on their velocities (among other things). To do that is relatively simple: add the velocity to the position of the object each frame. For this program, imagine we want to track an object and detect if it goes off the left or right side of the screen (that is, it’s X position is less than 0 and greater than the width of the screen, say, 100). Write a program that asks the user for the starting X and Y position of the object as well as the starting X and Y velocity, then prints out its position each frame until the object moves off of the screen. Design (pseudocode) and implement (source code) for this program.
Sample run 1:
Enter the starting X position: 50
Enter the starting Y position: 50
Enter the starting X velocity: 4.7
Enter the starting Y velocity: 2

This assignment is about Repetition Structures.
For Pseudocode, here are key words to use
: · DO … WHILE – A loop that will always run at least once ·
FOR … ENDFOR – A loop that runs until certain criteria is met ·
WHILE … ENDWHILE – A loop that runs only while certain criteria is met ·
FOREACH … ENDFOREACH – A loop that runs over elements in a data structure · BREAK - "break out" of the current loop (or other structure) you're in and start immediately after the loop · CONTINUE - skip over the current iteration of the loop and move on to the next one

Friction
Friction resists motion. If an object is stationary, friction tries to keep it from beginning to move. If an object is moving, friction slows it down and tries to stop it.
In all cases all you need to do is add an extra arrow (vector) to your free-body diagram. This new arrow always points opposite the direction of motion. When you use Newton's law to sum the forces, there will be one more term in the equation.
The magnitude of this new arrow/term is always given by Ff = μ FN where
μ is the "coefficient of friction", a number (theat you generally look up on a table) that tells how hard it is to slide two objects in contact.FN is the "Normal Force", or how hard the surface pushes up on the object. Generally you find the Normal force by summing all the forces in the y-direction and solving for FN. Most often however, if there aren't any forces acting in the y-direction other than gravity and the normal force, then for horizontal surfaces, FN = mg. Therefore, Ff = μmgfor inclined plane surfaces, FN = mg cos θ. Therefore, Ff = μmg cos θ

He pulls out a fire extinguisher and fires 2kg of material at a velocity of 8m/s. How fast is he moving after this process? (b) A 90kg astronaut is traveling through space at a rate of 2m/s. He is holding a 5kg mass as he travels. How fast would he have to throw this mass in order to come to rest? (c) A box of mass 20kg slides across an icy floor at a rate of 5m/s. In order to stop it, we slide smaller boxes of mass of 0.8kg towards it at a rate of 1m/s. How many boxes must collide with (and stick to) it before it comes to a stop? (d) A football player with mass 70kg runs towards another at a rate of 4m/s. Realizing he’s about to get walloped, the second player runs towards the first at a rate of 2m/s. If the second player has a mass of only 50kg, what is the velocity of the pair after the collision? (e) Three billiard balls travel along a table. The first is moving rightwards with a speed of 2m/s, the second is moving leftwards with a speed of 2m/s, and the middle one lies halfway between the first two. What is the velocity of the ball in the middle after the collision?
