    a. Retained earnings

    not affected, retained earnings is affected only by net income/losses and dividend distributions.

    b. Additional paid-in capital

    increased, since the new stocks will be sold above par value, additional paid-in capital will increase. This new issuance must be treated as any other issuance of stock.
