Which factor or factors listed below are internal influences on a loans interest rate?

Internal influences on a loan's interest rate typically include the borrower's credit score, income level, debt-to-income ratio, and overall financial stability. These factors help lenders assess the risk associated with lending to a particular individual or entity. A higher credit score and lower debt-to-income ratio generally lead to more favorable interest rates, while lower scores may result in higher rates.

What is risk free lending and borrowing?

In any kind of business transaction, all of the parties generally acknowledge that there is a level of risk that could lead to unforeseen losses to either party. This is particularly true in borrowing or lending money. The borrower could default on the loan for any number of reasons, and the lender could be left short. In addition, the interest rate could change, forcing one of sides to receive a different total return on the transaction than originally anticipated, which could have far-reaching effects. In the world of finance, however, there is a concept of risk-free borrowing and lending, where both sides know exactly what they are getting at any particular time and the amount of money is virtually risk-free. A prime example of this time of borrowing and lending is through purchase of US Treasury Bills.
