Nina Crane · Answer 1

The requirement for the next four years higher than the current available capacity.

Explanation:

AlwaysRain Irrigation, Inc., has 3 bronze machines and one injection molding. The bronze machine total available capacity is 60,000 / year which is calculated by 20,000 sprinkles * 3 machines.

For molding machine the available capacity for the year is 320,000 sprinkles per year.

The capacity requirement for next four years will be greater for bronze and the company needs to consider buying more machines.
