Consider the cutting stock problem that arises when a company manufactures sheets of standard width 100 and has commitments to supply 40 sections of width 40, 60 sections of width 24, and 80 sections of width 18. Find an initial basic feasible solution to this problem, and formulate the knapsack problem that will determine whether this solution is optimal
