Kaizen costing, huh? Sounds like the accounting team is trying to 'continuously make small incremental' improvements to their coffee budget.

Hmm, this is a tough one. I feel like I need to do a 'functional analysis' of my own brain to figure out the right answers. Maybe I'll get lucky and accidentally stumble upon the solution.
