Did I forget, or did I just sleep in class too much in 1980 and
never really learned how to....

      >>>>> solve the "Time Value of Money" equation for 'i' <<<<<<

                             ?????????

Given:  p, n, b, & f = 0;  How do you solve for 'i'?

                            -n                       -n
     100 p  1 - (1 + i/100)^   +  b = -f (1 + i/100)^
            ---------------
                   i

Or,
                    -n
      1 - (1 + i/100)^   =  -b
      ---------------      -----
             i             100 p

And that's as far as I get.  I need HELP!!!!! *sniff*
Pascal code would be nice.  But I can live with an equation: 'i' alone.

Thank you for you time
-Michael
