A. High interest rate and long time period conditions will maximize the amounts of interest you earn.
Explanation
When interest rates are high, there will be a higher increase from the savings and money invested that was first placed. Continuation of such a condition will in the long run caused an accumulation of the added interest thus making it to keep growing larger if not withdrawn.
The after cost of debt is always lower than the before tax cost of debt. For example, a company borrows $1,000,000 and pays 7% interest per year. This results in $70,000 in interest expense before taxes = $1,000,000 x 7% = $70,000.
The after tax cost of the debt = $1,000,000 x 7% x (1 - tax rate) = $1,000,000 x 7% x (1 - 21%) = $1,000,000 x 7% x 0.79 = $55,300
