Which of the following is a financial asset?Answer : Machinery  Intangible assets   Loan receivable  Prepayments

The financial asset among the options provided is the "Loan receivable".

Here's why:

1. Machinery: This is a physical asset, not a financial one. It's a tangible item that a company uses in its operations.

2. Intangible assets: These are non-physical assets, such as patents, copyrights, and trademarks. While they have value, they are not considered financial assets.

3. Loan receivable: This is indeed a financial asset. When a company or individual lends money to another entity, the promise of repayment (usually with interest) is considered a financial asset.

4. Prepayments: These are payments made in advance for goods or services that will be received in the future. While they represent a form of asset, they are not classified as financial assets.

So, the correct answer is "Loan receivable".
