Why might two Fortune 500 companies borrow the same amount of money for the same term at the same time yet both pay a very different interest rate even when the same banks makes both loans?

What will be an ideal response?

The reasons that interest rates are different have to do with many other factors than the ones mentioned. Most notably the credit-worthiness of the firm will play a role and the expected ability of the firm to be able to satisfactorily pay back the loan.
