the bondholders
higher
Answer: Debt ; An IOU ; Van and other bondholder ; lower
Explanation: When a company or organization decides to raise funds or capital through the sale of bonds such as in the case of RoboTroid, this is called DEBT financing. The money used to purchase these bonds could be interpreted as loans collected by the organization from the bondholders, thus giving Van, who is now a bondholder an 'I Owe You' or promise to repay from the firm which are usually paid with a fixed rate of interest.
In any event where RoboTroid runs into financial problem or meltdown, Van and other bondholders are paid ahead of shareholder's who claim partial ownership of RoboTroid. Assuming that everything else is equal, U.S government bonds that mature in 10 years pays lower interest rate than that which matured in 30years.
