The plane Sam wants to buy is expected to cost $500,000. The freight charges to deliver the plane will amount to $5,000 and the plane is expected to last 15 years with proper maintenance and will have a salvage value of $20,000. Sam depreciates his assets on a straight-line basis. Sam would like you to provide the initial recording of the asset.

It would be expected that a $100,000 dividend would be declared on November 1 of this year with a payment date of February 1.
