Common stock = $110,000

Additional Paid in capital = $130,000

Retained earnings = $130,000

Explanation:

The computation of stockholders' equity is given below:

Common stock = Outstanding shares + (Stock dividend percentage * Shares issued * Par value per share)

= 100,000 + (10% * 10,000 * $10)

= $110,000

Additional Paid in capital = Additional paid-in capital - common + (Stock dividend percentage * Shares issued * (Market price per share - Par value per share))

= 120,000 + (10% * 10,000 * ($20 - $10))

= $130,000

Retained earnings = Retained earning (Given) - (Stock dividend percentage * Outstanding shares * Market price per share)

= 150,000 - (10% * 100,000 * $20)

= $130,000
