BUG: rate returning incorrect value #126
Description
Describe the issue:
I found a situation where npf.rate is not returning the same thing as my BA II Plus financial calculator or npf.irr. Even setting guess to the correct value does not get the expected answer.
Reproduce the code example:
import numpy_financial as npf
# This returns -1.8964420585461792
npf.rate(8, -440_000, 263_175, 25_500)
# This returns 0.5838779110248231 - Matches financial calculator
npf.irr([-440_000, 263_175, 263_175, 263_175, 263_175, 263_175, 263_175, 263_175, 263_175 + 25_500])
# Still returns -1.8964420585461792
npf.rate(8, -440_000, 263_175, 25_500, 0, 0.5838779110248231)Error message:
