Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Absorption costing, sometimes called “full costing, ” is a managerial accounting method for capturing all costs associated with manufacturing a particular product. All direct and indirect costs, such as direct materials, direct labor, rent, and insurance, are accounted for when using this method.
