Cutting Sewing Department Department Production departments total costs $ Feedback Check My Work The sequential method considers some inter-support-department services. It does this by first allocating costs from one support department to the other support departments and to the production departments. A second support department is then selected and its costs are allocated to the remaining support departments and to the production departments. Under this method, support department costs are never allocated back to the support department whose costs have already been allocated. The order in which support department costs are allocated under the sequential method is important.
