    Common stock = $110,000

    Additional paid-in capital = $130,000

    Retained earnings = $170,000

    Explanation:

    Computation of the given data are as follows:

    Common stock after issuing stock dividend = $100,000 + (10,000 * 10% * $10)

    = $100,000 + 10,000 = $110,000

    Additional paid-in capital after issuing stock dividend = 120,000 + (10,000 * 10% * $10)

    = 120,000 + 10,000 = $130,000

    Retained earnings after issuing stock dividend = 150,000 + (10,000 * 10% * $20)

    = 150,000 + 20,000 = $170,000
