Change amount to Negative value based on True/False Column

Please help im a new user used to excel language and DAX has me stumped.

 

Id like to create a new column where the values in the amount colum are positive or negative based on the result of the refund column.

 

So where Refund = True the value in the new column would be minus whats in the amount column

 

so 125.96 would become -125.96 because the refund is TRUE.
