This is the information I have in order to find the Stock Issuances:

Dec 31, 2010
Assets 80,000
Liabilities 38,000

Dec 31, 2011
Assets 125,000
Liabilities 64,000

During Year 2011
Stock Issuances ?
Net Income (loss) 12,000
Cash Dividends 0

I have been searching for how to tackle this from my textbook but there is no equation for me to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

First you have to know the amount for owners equity at Dec 31 2010 and 2011. The formula for finding owners equity is: Owners Equity = Assets - Liabilities.

Now once you know Owners Equity at the two dates you can solve the rest of your problem. Simply take your Dec 31, 2011 Onwers Equity, then subtract out your net income from 2011, and subtract out your Dec 31, 2010 Owners Equity to get your stock issuance amount for 2011.

assets - liabilities = equity

equity = opening balance plus stock issued plus/minus trading result -dividends

surely you saw these "equations" in your text book

so now you can fill in the missing numbers. There have been two recent questions answered on this subject
