Explanation:

the numbers are missing, but we can infer the answer because when a stock dividend is declared (not distributed), the correct journal entry should be:

Dr Stock dividends  

    Cr Common stock dividends distributable

    Cr Additional paid in capital (if the stock price is higher than par value)

Once the stock dividends are distributed, the journal entry should be:

Dr Common stock dividends distributable

    Cr Common stock

Since you used the stock dividends account instead of retained earnings, at the end of the year you will have to close it:

Dr Retained earnings

    Cr Stock dividends
