See Theodore E. Raiford, Mathematics of Finance. Boston, 1945, p. 25, note, and W. L. Hart, Mathematics of Investment, third ed., Boston, 1946, p. 75 and p. 138. In these texts the following statement is made. Experience shows that it is safe to assume that a value of I found by interpolation is in error by not more than $\tfrac {1}{{20}}$ of the difference of the table rates used in the interpolation.
