Two possible drawbacks to a within subjects design are learning/testing effect and order effect. Learning effect occurs when the participant is exposed to a test multiple times. The second time the participant can do better because he/she has pervious knowledge about the test already. Order effect is when the order of presenting the treatments affects the dependent variable.
6. Give 2 possible drawbacks to a between subjects design.
Two possible drawbacks to a between subjects design are assignment bias and practicality. Assignment bias occurs when the researchers fail to take into account the differences between the two groups, such as SES. Practicality is a draw back because this design requires researchers to test more participants since each group was only measured once and they need to a new group for every treatment and manipulation.

A study in which you may have to employ a counterbalancing scheme is determining the effect of loss of sleep on the physical strength. The independent variable will be the differences in the amount of time participants spent sleeping the night before they do the test run and the dependent variable is the time take to run

1. Calculating OCF. Hammett, Inc., has sales of $34,630, costs of $10,340, depreciation expense of $2,520, and interest expense of $1,750. If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the operating cash flow, or OCF?
a. Operating cash flow $ 17283
Sales - Cost - Dep = EBIT
34630 - 10340 - 2520 = 21770
EBIT - Interest = Taxable Income
21770 - 1750 = 20020
Taxes (35%) = 20020 x .35 = 7007
Net income: 20020 - 7007 = 13013
