Absorption costing and direct costing are two different methods which have their own strengths and weaknesses. Direct costing is applicable when there are large shifts in volume.
Activity based costing is a method of operational analysis
What do you mean standards? are your referring to standard costing?
I would like to see your discussion of these issues

This is an assignment and I cannot do your assignment for you
