Write a pseudocode algorithm for a program that calculates the total of a retail sale. The program should ask for the amount of the sale and the sales tax rate. The sales tax rate should be entered as a floating-point number. For example, if the sales tax rate is 6 percent, the user should enter 0.06. The program should display the amount of sales tax and the total of the sale. After you write the pseudocode algorithm, convert it to a complete C++ program.

Explain the differences between advertising and sales promotion.

Suppose that a CEO's goal is to increase profitability and output from her company by bolstering its sales force and that it is known that profits as a function of output are $\pi=40 q-2 q^2$ (in millions of U.S. dollars). Graph the company's profit function. Compare and contrast output and profits using the following compensation schemes based on the assumption that sales managers view output and profits as "goods": $(a)$ the company compensates sales managers solely based on output, $(b)$ the company compensates sales managers solely based on profits, and $(c)$ the company compensates sales managers based on a combination of output and profits.
