[General] It’s his indeed.

Is the following exchange natural? Is it possible in native speakers' communication?
Is it Ben’s bike? – It’s his indeed.

Yes. But "Yes, it is" would be better.

I asked because I need (for a textbook I am writing) some short exchange - a simple question and a simple answer including the absolute form of his (without a noun).
A: ..........................?
B: ............... his (...).
Could anyone help?

How about "Yes, it's his"? Or just "It is"?
