It's just an emotional and/or emphatic version of "you're right".

It's a very informal expression which means 'You are absolutely right.'

Used idiomatically, this is said when you hand something over to someone or do a favour, usually to draw the recipient's attention to the exchange. It is equivalent to “thank you” when receiving something.

Either is fine because this is an informal situation.

If you were sititing an English exam then you would need to use the long version:
now it is quite clear.
