Parrish 1-3 #4

I asked this question early and below is the answer I was given.  The person did not explain how or why the equation when from

Closing RE=Opening RE +Net Income/loss+Dividends paid

8000=12000+Net Income/Loss-0

to Net Income/Loss=8000-12000+0  (Why did the the 1/1 RE 12000 turn to negative?)

Here is the information needed to find the missing Expense

Revenue $6000

Dividends declared $0

Expenses $Unkown

1/1 RE $12000

12/31 RE $8000

If you could explain how to find the expense amount in a more clear manner I would appreciate it.
