HELP ASAP PLEASE

AlwaysRain Irrigation, Inc. would like to determine capacity requirements for the next four years. Currently, two production lines are in place for making bronze and plastic sprinklers. Three types of sprinklers are available in both bronze and plastic: 90-degree nozzle sprinklers, 180-degree nozzle sprinklers, and 360-degree nozzle sprinklers. Management has forecast demand for the next four years as follows:

YEARLY DEMAND

1 (IN 000s) 2 (IN 000s) 3 (IN 000s ) 4 (IN 000s)

Plastic 90 34 46 59 58

Plastic 180 14 19 20 19

Plastic 360 47 59 67 65

Bronze 90 4 5 6 13

Bronze 180 5 5 4 9

Bronze 360 10 11 18 19

Both production lines can produce all the different types of nozzles. The bronze machines needed for the bronze sprinklers require two operators and can produce up to 15,000 sprinklers. The plastic injection molding machine needed for the plastic sprinklers requires four operators and can produce up to 250,000 sprinklers. Three bronze machines and only one injection molding machine are available.
