Variable costing is called marginal costing while direct costing is separate concept.
Marginal costing is a technique of costing where the variable expenses are charged to a product. It ignores the fixed expenses incurred by the business in fixing the price of a product on the assumption that the fixed expenses are not incurred in producing an additional unit.They are treated as period costs& charged directly to P& L A/C.Marginal cost is the cost of producing an additional unit of product.It takes the direct expenses & the variable portion of the overhead expenditure. But Direct costing takes into account only the direct expenses like direct mterials, direct labour & direct expenditure for finding out the cost of a product.
variable costing
direct costing is a technique in which costs are classified as direct cost or indirect cost.
VARIABLE COSTING VERSUS ABSORPTION COSTINGAbsorption costing applies all manufacturing overhead to production costs while they flow through Work-in-Process Inventory, Finished-Goods Inventory and expenses on the income statement while Variable Costing only applies variable manufacturing overhead.Fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed immediately as it is incurred under variable costing while it is inventoried until the accounting period during which the manufactured goods are sold under absorption costing.
Direct cost is cost of product while direct costing is the process which study or accounts the direct cost allocation to products.
'''Direct Costing'''
B. Direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead.

Yes marginal costing is also sometimes called direct costing.
full absorption costing
VARIABLE COSTING VERSUS ABSORPTION COSTINGAbsorption costing applies all manufacturing overhead to production costs while they flow through Work-in-Process Inventory, Finished-Goods Inventory and expenses on the income statement while Variable Costing only applies variable manufacturing overhead.Fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed immediately as it is incurred under variable costing while it is inventoried until the accounting period during which the manufactured goods are sold under absorption costing.
marginal costing is also known as contribution costing. its a costing method that's includes only a variable cost of a product no attempt is made to allocate or appropriate fixed costs to cost centers. the setting of prices is basically based on the variable costs of making a product. if the prices are set above this unit cost then each item sold will make a condition to fixed costs. on the other hand absorption costing or full costing is an approach to the costing of products that allocated all costs of production to cost centers. The aim is to ensure that all business costs are covered.

Direct cost is cost of product while direct costing is the process which study or accounts the direct cost allocation to products.
False. Activity-based costing is used to allocate indirect cost into direct costs.Regardng direct cost, traditional costing is as appropriate as activity-based costing.
