  9. ** Function:  Calculate_Simple_Interest
  10. **
  11. ** Description:  Simple Interest is the amount of interest
  12. **               calculated by using the formula:
  13. **
  14. **               interest = (P * R * T)
  15. **
  16. **               where P is the principle, r is the rate, and t
  17. **               is the time of the investment
  18. **
  19. **               This function will return the simple interest
  20. **               calculated based upon it being passed the principle,
  21. **               rate, and time.
  22. **
  23. ** Parameters:   Principle - The original principal to start with
  24. **               Rate      - The rate of interest.  If you wanted
  25. **                           9.5 percent it would be passed as 0.095
  26. **               Time      - The time in years
  27. **
  28. ** Returns:      Interest  - The amount of simple interest earned
