No, there is no rule that loans or bonds at higher interest rates take priority over those at lower interest rates. In bankruptcy, secured debts take priority over unsecured debts. For corporations or governments in bankruptcy, the seniority of the debt also determines the order in which the debts are paid. In both cases, the interest rate is not a determining factor.
If you are asking about paying off consumer credit, it is true that it generally works out that paying off the higher interest rate loans (e.g., credit cards) first is the best strategy, simply because the interest on those can make it virtually impossible to make any headway on paying off the total personal debt. Again, that's not a rule, but the arithmetic usually works out that way.
To calculate the interest paid in the first month of a loan of $5,000 at an annual interest rate of 12%, you first determine the monthly interest rate by dividing the annual rate by 12, which gives 1% per month (12% / 12). Then, multiply the loan amount by the monthly interest rate: $5,000 x 0.01 = $50. Therefore, the interest paid in the first month is $50.
An amortized loan is just a basic loan where the principal and interest are paid on a monthly basis. Usually, the majority of the interest is paid first, then the principal.
They require the interest to be paid first.

An individual must issue a 1099 for interest paid if the amount of interest paid is 10 or more in a tax year.

Interest is usually paid semiannually.
Interest Expense is usually calculated by (Carrying Value of Liability*Yield Rate * Time). Carrying Value is the actual present value of the liability (including discounts earned, etc) Interest Expense is the money that actually goes out of the firm. Interest Paid is calculated by (Face Value of Liability*Interest Rate * Time). Interest Paid is the fair-value of dues from the firm, but is not the actual value of the liability. Interest Expense is the amount reflected in the books of the firm, and is usually higher than Interest Paid. This is because Interest Expense often includes the cost of discount amortization(this is necessary when the bond/other liability was gained at a discount. The amortization is worked into the formula above, and hence gives an amount higher than interest paid. This gives the total interest expensed by the Company.) Hope this helps. Cheers

A longer term equals a lower monthly payment and a higher dollar amount of interest paid.
it is any interest after the first compounding there isn't a special name for it...
Interest paid on interest previously received is the best definition of compounding interest.

It is interest that is paid separately. For an investor, it is paid out to the investor and not rolled into the investment.
Simple interest:Every time interest is paid, it's paid on the amount you originally put in.Compound interest:Every time interest is paid, it's paid on the amount you had after the last time interest was paid.So, part of the interest that's paid today is interest on all the interest that's ever been paid, ontop of the amount you originally put in.
