Sub-Lease Account
Profit and Loss Account
Short Working Account
Royalty Receivable Account
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is D. Royalty Receivable Account.
A sublease is a lease agreement in which the lessee of an asset leases that asset to a third party. The lessor in the original lease agreement is now the sublessor, and the third party is the sublessee. The sublessor typically receives a royalty payment from the sublessee, which is recorded in the Royalty Receivable Account.
The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:
- Option A, Sub-Lease Account, is incorrect because this account is used to track the sublease agreement itself, not the royalty payments received under the agreement.
- Option B, Profit and Loss Account, is incorrect because this account is used to record all income and expenses for the period, not just royalty payments.
- Option C, Short Working Account, is incorrect because this account is used to track temporary cash flows, not royalty payments.
