RE: AP style for negative numbers?

[Linda Stark <stark_linda -at- att -dot- net>]

Thanks to all who responded so promptly. I really appreciate it. 

I decided to go with "...negative NPV of $???" It seems to make sense and sure is better than those parentheses, which are commonly used in accounting. I'd expect them on a table or in a graphic, but not in straight text. 

Now to fix that one last sentence and this paper is finally finished. 

Thanks again, all! You're the best!
