13...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 31 45 56 54

Plastic 180 13 14 15 19

Plastic 360 49 56 65 68

Bronze 90 8 7 6 17

Bronze 180 4 4 8 13

Bronze 360 10 12 15 20

Both production lines can produce all the different types of nozzles. The bronze machines needed for the bronze sprinklers require three operators and can produce up to 18,000 sprinklers. The plastic injection molding machine needed for the plastic sprinklers requires five operators and can produce up to 295,000 sprinklers. Three bronze machines and only one injection molding machine are available.

What are the capacity requirements for the next four years? (Assume that there is no learning.) (Enter the demand values in thousands. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
