Question

I asked this question earlier and still unclear about the equation.

The amount of expenses has to be found.

Revenue 2028 $6000

Dividends declared $0

Expenses for 2028 $ Amount Unknown

1/1 RE $12000

12/31 RE $8000

Step 1

This is the equation I was given.

Closing RE=Opening RE+ Net income loss-Dividends paid

(How do you know it is a loss if you haven't even found the expenses amount yet??) Also why below is loss in parentheses below? I need to know why Net Income LOSS is used

$8000=$12000+Net income loss-$0

Net Income Loss=$8000-$12000+$0

Net Income (loss)=-($4000)

 

Step 2

 Calculate expenses for 2028

Net Income LOSS=Revenues-Expenses

-$4000=$6000+$4000

Expenses=$6000+$4000

Expenses=$10000
