The "correct" values of r used in these tests all appear to have errors greater than the tolerance of 1e-4, as you can verify by plugging them in to the formula for Future Value.

Thanks for the catch. I have updated the test suite.

Thanks Mehmet, but there are still big errors. The correct answers are:
Test 1: r = 0.08837372469
Test 2: r = 0.06774487509
Test 3: r = 0.01422142597

I fixed the errors. I also updated the assert statements.
