These are:  Full Absorption costing  Marginal costing  standard costing using  absorption costing  marginal costing
a.k.a. Absorption Costing, is a method that includes direct manufacturing costs as well as indirect manufacturing costs such as machine depreciation and factory. (GAAP Required)

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.
