    The mortgage should be in Mortgage Payable, so it should be recorded properly and no further entry needs to be made until the payment is made.

    I do not know what rates is so your accounts could be incorrect for the first entry, but your other journal entries look correct.

    I can't get the adjusted trial balance to be balanced.. I think this was due to the mortgage only recorded on credit $1000...
