    The journal entry is shown below:

    Retained earning A/c Dr $240,000

    To Common Stock A/c $90,000

    To Paid-in Capital in excess of Par-Common stock $150,000

    (Being the dividend is recorded)

    The computation is shown below

    For common stock

    = 300,000 shares * $3 * 10%

    = $90,000

    For retained earning

    = 300,000 shares * $8 * 10%

    = $240,000

    And, the remaining balance is credited to the paid-in capital
