Christopher -- sure.  I just tried this on Google Drive's Spreadsheet
and on Microsoft Excel:

=RATE(50,35,-250,0)

The result in both cases is approximately 0.1398.

When I try the same formula in LibreOffice, I get a nonsensical answer.
(I sure hope no one out there is using this function to calculate
important financial figures!)  I'm using LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 Build ID:
350m1(Build:2) on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit.

Hope this is helpful.
