[Type here] Introduction GG Toys was a leading supplier of high-quality dolls to retail toy stores throughout the United States. Its flagship product called the "Geoffrey Doll" took the market by storm, establishing its strong foothold in the US markets and plunging the company into dominant recognition. Fast forward, the company ventured into some more customized versions of its Geoffrey Dolls called the "Specialty Dolls". It enabled the company to get a more premium price over its standard production doll. However, margins on their most popular product, the Geoffrey Doll, had been declining rapidly in the last few years due to rising production costs which has prompted them to shift primarily to Specialty Dolls only. The company has been using the traditional production-run direct labour cost method for allocating the cost of production to its units. It has created significant revenue differences between forecasted vs actual. The company considers adding two more lines to the existing catalogue of products i.e., the “Reindeer Doll” and “Romanian Patch Doll”. This case study thoroughly analysis the current scenario at GG Toys and offers valuable impetus for product retention, appropriate allocation of cost overheads across the product lines and venturing into newer products for profitability and sustainability.

[Type here] Problem Statement Should GG toys persuade a final call upon their flagship product ‘’ Geoffrey Doll’’ and shift primarily to its customized doll category called the ‘Specialty Doll”? Can GG Toys afford to add more products to its existing portfolio amidst dwindling profit margins every year? Downloaded by Aanchal Miglani (miglani.aanchal@gmail.com) lOMoARcPSD|29325942
[Type here] Questions 1. Do you recommend that G.G. Toys change its existing cost system in the Chicago plant? In the Springfield plant? Why or why not? GG toys need to change the existing cost system in Chicago as well as the Springfield plant. The previous costing system based on production run labour cost gives ambiguous figures for allocating manufacturing overheads per unit and gross margin per unit of production. Chicago plant takes most of the setups for machinery every time a new order arrives, whereas Springfield is a mostly hand-based production facility. Hence, it's unfair to allocate Chicago plant overheads alone on labour hours on similar lines as that Springfield Plant. It creates solid ground for allocation based on activity level.
