Explanation:

(a)

Journal entry to record the transaction is,

Particulars                                                                  Debit      Credit

Land and Building (460000 + 520000)                 $980,000

Cash Paid                                                                           $360,000

Mortgage Payable (980,000 - 360,000)                         $620,000

We assume that 4% interest is chargeable each semiannual payment and that each subsequent payment is charged 4% on the remaining amount of principal minus any preceding principal payments.

(b)

First installment = Principal + Interest payable

= 31,000 + (620,000 * 0.04) = $55,800

(c)

Second payment = 31,000 + [(620,000 - 31000) * 0.04] = $54,560

Since the chart of accounts is not provided you can confirm the the account headings.

Hope that helps.
