1. 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	32	44	55	56
Plastic 180	18	16	17	18
Plastic 360	50	55	60	67
Bronze 90	8	8	9	10
Bronze 180	5	4	5	6
Bronze 360	12	12	10	18

Both production lines can produce all the different types of nozzles. The bronze machines needed for the bronze sprinklers require 2 operators and can produce up to 14,000 sprinklers. The plastic injection molding machine needed for the plastic sprinklers requires 5 operators and can produce up to 180,000 sprinklers. Three bronze machines and only one injection molding machine are available.
