DV relates to $money, so transformed variable is not useful for reader. For t-test we usually report M,SD, t, df. Should I use raw M,SD when reporting or the transformed variables? Thanks in advance.
hi, Ben Riley
Of course, especially M, SD , because the standard deviation is sometimes expressed as a percent of the mean, in which case it's known as a coefficient of variation. when the SD and mean come from repeated measurements of a single subject, the resulting coefficient of variation is an important measure of reliability.

One sould report the raw data since it is the actual data from which you have the transformed data, this will also explain the question why u need to transform data in the place.
