Journal Entry help for accounting!?

Br. Burns bought an oven from the Try-N-Save. He took out a note for five months at an interest rate of 8%. The amount of the note was $300,000. The oven has a useful life of 5 years and will use the straight line method of depreciation. The expected salvage value of the oven at the end of its useful life is $50,000.

I have the following answer:

DR Equipment - Stove 300,000

CR Notes Payable - 300,000

^that's correct. Then I also have:

DR Depreciation Expense 50,000

CR Accumulated Depreciation - Oven 50,000

The 50,000 is right, but the account names are wrong. Does anyone know what they should be and why?

Update:

It does not give any details or options of what it should be.

    It looks perfectly fine to me. Are you given choices for the account names?
