Problem-Solving
1. Develop an algorithm to print the names of the candidates who should receive a refund. A
refund is due if the candidate’s votes received equals or exceeds 20 per cent of the votes cast
in the constituency. The algorithm should also determine and print the number of candidates
who received a refund. Test the algorithm with data from ten candidates. The algorithm must
accept as input the names of the candidates, votes received and the votes cast in the
constituency. The algorithm should print the name of the candidate and the words “Refund
Due” or “No Refund” and the number of candidates who received a refund. Data to test the
algorithm must be sourced from the spreadsheet section of the project.

2. Design and execute a trace table to test the algorithm developed in question (1) above. The
table should have a maximum of ten iterations.

Program Implementation
1. (a) Develop a problem statement for the algorithm developed in question (1) above.

(b) Using the programming language Pascal or VBA, write code to implement/automate the
algorithm in question (1) above.
