Abstract

Costing models are very important in making business decisions, since they constitute a fundamental part of the conceptual basis with which the decision maker understands the economic reality. The objective of this paper is to analyse the way in which the users of the information interpret and solve a business problem, through a diagnostic test applied to 293 graduate, postgraduate and business training students from Uruguay, Brazil and Colombia. The analysis of the results shows a generalised use of the Full Costing model in displacement of the Variable Costing. The logistic regression validated the hypothesis of the positive impact of educational transitions, proving this positive correlation: the greater the academic training and experience, the better the performance in the test. It ends with the analysis of the results of a test applied at the end of the course to a sample of 20 graduate students, which enabled the assessment of the positive effect of the educational intervention. These findings are very important to define the accounting content in graduate and postgraduate courses, and try to highlight the role of management accounting versus single accounting and cost calculation.
