4217=600(1+i)^6-1/i

4217 = 600 [  (1+i)^6   - 1  ]  / i

 

Very difficult to solve  this algebraically.....WolframAlpha   shows  that   i   ≈  .063   =   6.3%

How did you solve that? I can't figure it out

As I said.....this is  very  difficult to solve  by  hand.......

 

You will  end up with this equation  :

 

600 i^5 + 3600 i^4 + 9000 i^3 + 12000 i^2 + 9000 i - 617 = 0 

 

I think  there is a general  form for  solving  this, but  I don't know what it is.....(probably very involved  !!! )

 

So.....technology  seems the  way to  go
