          • Dollar signs are included in the first and last numbers of each column.
          • Subtotals and totals are preceded by a single underline. Totals are followed by a double underline.

        • All totals and subtotals should be calculated using formulas.  For an example of which cells may need formulas, please see Exhibit B.
