    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

    Standard costs are a method to providing control where there is complexity
