Parentheses and punctuation

If the words form a complete sentence they should end with a full-stop (or question mark if appropriate). The sentence into which the brackets are inserted also has its punctuation. It must end with a full stop or question mark, outside the brackets, even if the brackets come at the end of that sentence.

Based on what you said, the sentence should be punctuated that way?

One author writes:

...director-buying (“It was helped on Tuesday by director-buying and gained a further 12.5p.” (2001: 119)).

I wonder whether she uses the period at the end because 'p' is an abbreviation from 'pence', or just to close the whole sentence.
