    You have to know the Retained Earnings Formula, which is:
    Beginning Retained Earnings + Common Stock issued - Cash Dividends + Net Income (Revenues - Expenses) = Ending Retained Earnings

    Rewritten to find Net Income:
    Net Income = Ending Retained Earnings - Beginning Retained - Common Stock Issued + Cash dividends + Expenses
