Problem - Sharon's Bakery produces three kinds of homemade bread: whole wheat, honey quinoa, and sourdough. The bread is produced in the Mixing and Baking departments. Other indirect or supportive costs of production include Janitorial and Maintenance services. Janitorial and Maintenance costs are allocated to the Mixing and Baking departments based on square feet and machine hours, respectively. Sharon has noted that the area where maintenance equipment is stored is about 1,000 square feet, and that the size of the Mixing and Baking departments is about 2,300 and 1,700 square feet, respectively. Sharon knows that the recorded machine hours for the Mixing and Baking departments combined was 5,000 hours, and that the Mixing Department ran machines about 200 hours more than the Baking Department. The total costs of each department were as follows:

Janitorial Department $4,000

Maintenance Department 3,300

Mixing Department 17,700

Baking Department 14,000

Required - Determine the total cost of each production department after allocating all support department costs using the sequential method.
