As a result of the study, it is seen that there are different results when full cost and variable cost methods are used. It is seen that in full cost method all expenses are added to the cost. This complies with legal regulations however it causes to an increase in the calculated costs. On the other hand, while the occurrence of a legally unaccepted cost section in variable cost method reveals a deficiency; the lower costs compared to other method helps to give better price offers.
